Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has said US export restrictions on advanced semiconductors helped Chinese technology companies accelerate the development of their own artificial intelligence industry. Speaking during an interview with CNA in Taipei, Huang said restrictions on Nvidia's chip sales to China created opportunities for domestic firms including Huawei and several local AI startups.
The comments come as tensions continue between Washington and Beijing over advanced semiconductor technology and artificial intelligence development. The United States has introduced multiple export controls in recent years aimed at limiting China's access to high-performance AI chips and related technology.
