Twenty-five years after creating the graphics processing unit, Nvidia has “reinvented computing and sparked a new industrial revolution,” according to the company’s CEO.
Even if the new U.S. administration places more stringent export restrictions on cutting-edge computing devices, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated on Saturday that international cooperation and collaboration in technology will continue.
Citing national security concerns, President-elect Donald Trump placed a number of limitations on the transfer of American technology to China during his first term in office. This policy was mostly maintained by incumbent Joe Biden.
“Open science has a long history of international collaboration and collaboration between math and science. It is the cornerstone of both scientific and social progress,” Huang told reporters while in Hong Kong.
International collaboration will “continue.” I’m not sure what the incoming administration will bring, but we’ll continue to develop our technology, support and serve clients worldwide, and comply with laws and policies all at the same time.”
Huang, who received an honorary doctorate in engineering earlier on Saturday, told academics and graduates at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology that “the age of AI has started” in a speech.
Accompanying actor Tony Leung, Fields Medallist Prof. David Mumford, and Nobel Prize winner Prof. Michael Levitt were the head of the world’s top producer of chips for artificial intelligence applications.
“The AI era has begun. “a new era of computing that will affect all industries and scientific disciplines,” Huang stated.
Nvidia, 25 years after creating the graphics processing unit, has “reinvented computing and sparked a new industrial revolution,” he claimed.
“AI is certainly the most important technology of our time, and potentially of all times.”
Huang, 61, also expressed his regret to graduates that he did not begin his profession at this time.
“Everything has been reset. Along with everyone else, you are at the starting lines. They’re reinventing an industry. You now possess the tools required to further science across a wide range of domains,” Huang remarked.
“The greatest challenges of our time, unimaginable challenges to overcome in the past, all of a sudden seem possible to tackle.”
Huang will take part in a fireside talk with students, faculty, and Harry Sham, the chairman of the university’s council, in the afternoon.
