Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang embarked on a high-profile tour this month, making stops in both Washington, D.C. and Beijing to advocate for the advancement of artificial intelligence. In conversations with U.S. policymakers and President Trump, Huang underscored Nvidia´s commitment to bolstering American Artificial Intelligence infrastructure, supporting initiatives to onshore manufacturing, and helping foster job creation within the sector. He reinforced that a robust domestic Artificial Intelligence foundation is vital for the United States to maintain its leadership in this fast-moving technology race.
While in Beijing, Huang pivoted his focus to international cooperation, meeting with government and industry representatives to explore Artificial Intelligence´s potential for productivity gains and opportunity expansion. Discussions centered on ensuring the safe and secure development of Artificial Intelligence, underlining the need for a collective approach to its future. Huang voiced confidence that researchers across the globe can shape technological progress for the greater good, all while adhering to strict safety standards.
Huang also updated the market on Nvidia´s business outlook in China, revealing progress towards resuming sales of its H20 GPU pending licensing approvals from the U.S. government. He expressed optimism that shipments would begin soon and announced the launch of a new fully compliant RTX PRO GPU, positioned as a key tool for digital twin Artificial Intelligence applications in smart factories and logistics. Across both continents, Huang described artificial intelligence as a foundational global resource—akin to energy or the internet—and reiterated Nvidia´s pledge to support open-source research and foundation models. He explained that strengthening these models would democratize Artificial Intelligence for emerging economies, and argued that American technology should remain at the heart of global Artificial Intelligence innovation.
