US chip maker Nvidia has expressed concern over the continued improvement of Chinese company Huawei in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. They are feared to lose the market.
Nvidia Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jensen Huang expressed concern at a closed door meeting with US lawmakers on Thursday. The meeting has gained special importance in how the ban on export of Nvidia's chip in China is strengthened by Huawei.
A senior official who was in the meeting told Reuters that if China was created with the China -generative AI DIPC's Arwan Model Huawei's chip or if a Chinese Open Source AI model Huawei's chip was made in the future, the demand for their chips in the world would increase drastically. Then the Nvidia can lose the market.
Nvidia spokesman John Rizo said in a statement, “The company's CEO Jensen discussed the strategic importance of AI and the need for investment in the country in a meeting with the Congress Foreign Policy Committee. He reiterated the full support of Nvidia to the government's efforts to protect American technology and interests. '
Originally using a chip made of Nvidia, chatboats, photo -making app games, and other AI technology apps or websites are created. But the US government has banned the sale of advanced chip in China for years. The United States has specified the ability to export China to export China as a strategy to retreat China in competition in the artificial intelligence technology market. That is, the powerful chip of the latest technology cannot be exported to China. Because of this, Nvidia was exporting some separate chips for China, whose capabilities were intentionally reduced. These are called the Cutdown version.
China has made AI app like DIPSC with old and cutdout versions. Basically, the United States felt that these chips of low and low capacity could no longer be given to China and the Trump administration has also banned the export of weak chips to China as usual.
As a result, Chinese companies are now looking for alternatives. Huawei has come forward in this opportunity. Huawei says the chip they created will be able to easily support the Nvidia chip. In the meantime, Huawei's chip has become quite popular in the Chinese market. Many Chinese companies are now using Huawei's chips to make AI at low cost.
And that's why Nvidia is concerned. They say that if Huawei goes ahead like this, US technology may fall behind. The company has warned the government that AI is not just a business issue, it has become national security.
