Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sat down with CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday to discuss a variety of issues, including the ongoing AI race between the US and China. Zakaria asked Huang about the previous bipartisan consensus regarding the restriction of high-end AI hardware to China, and to speak towards his previous comments that the sanctions had backfired against American companies.
"Depriving someone of technology is not a goal, it's a tactic. And that tactic was not in service of the goal", said Huang (via Bloomberg). "We would like the United States to be the world leader [in AI], there is nothing wrong with that aspiration, and we should definitely try to achieve that, and strive for that."
