Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the US needs to 'go compete' with AI chips against China because 'they're nanoseconds behind us'

Nvidia's Jensen Huang, his arms wide, at GTC 2024.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claims that China is "nanoseconds behind" the US in terms of AI technology and chipmaking. During an interview on the BG2 podcast, a tech and investment focused bi-weekly program, the CEO of Nvidia echoed a sentiment similar to that of comments he made back in May of this year about how his company and the wider American tech industry needs to "go compete" in China.

Huang emphasises, "We’re up against a formidable, innovative, hungry, fast-moving, underregulated [competitor in China]" (via Tom's Hardware). These comments follow a podcast passage where Huang is generally complementary about the current US administration. Huang said, "[President Trump] wants America to win the AI race. This is going to be a very long-term race, and he understands this is a pivotal time. He wants the technology industry to run. He wants everybody in the world to be built on American technology."
