Abstract:
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at an event in Paris on Tuesday that the company plans to announce a $2 billion investment in Europe in the coming week. Paris is the first stop of Huang's European tour, and he will also go to London and Berlin later. Huang Renxun said that this investment is a further addition to the US$8 billion that Nvidia has invested in Europe over the past year. He also announced new investments in French startups Doctolib, Genesis AI, Pigment and Entalpic.
Huang Renxun runs the world's most valuable company, and Nvidia is also a chip manufacturing giant at the heart of the artificial intelligence boom. Huang has pledged to invest hundreds of billions of dollars globally to accelerate the widespread adoption of this technology and its products. However, Huang's arrival in Europe comes at a time when AI technology is facing growing public resistance. From out-of-control AI models to the impact of energy-intensive data centers on the environment, a series of concerns are driving calls to limit the development of AI. Europe and the UK seek to play a role in preventing the harm that AI can cause.
Huang Jen-Hsun said at the event: "Europe needs to join this race."
Huang Renxun opposes calls to slow down the development of AI. He said AI will drive economic growth and can be developed safely. After a number of security incidents involving AI agents have caused widespread concern, heads of AI companies including Anthropic PBC CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are considering how to grasp the pace of AI development.
