Jensen Huang says the US needs to win a key people battle with China
Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has a message for the US: To lead in AI, you need to win over the world's developers, starting with the ones in China. The tech titan said on an episode of "Memos to the President" published Monday that leadership in AI isn't just about hardware or regulation — it's about people. And right now, many of them are outside America's reach. "50% of the world's AI developers are in China," he said. "The first job of any platform is to win all developers." Huang said that developers now come from everywhere — Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East — as demand for AI spreads across every country, industry, and company. Huang said the US must ensure developers around the world are building on the "American tech stack," from chips to infrastructure to cloud platforms. "The American tech stack should be the global standard," he said. "Just as the American dollar is the global standard." Huang said that Washington needs to stop restricting access and start focusing on expanding influence. "The more your technology is everywhere, the more developers you're going to have," he added. Huang's comments come just before Nvidia announced that it will resume selling its H20 chips to China. The company said in a statement on Tuesday that the US government has "assured Nvidia that licences will be granted," with deliveries expected to begin soon. The move marks a reversal from the Trump administration's earlier crackdown on advanced chip exports to China. In April, Nvidia warned that the restrictions could cost it billions in lost revenue. Huang has been outspoken about the strength of China's AI industry. In an interview earlier this year with Ben Thompson, the author of Stratechery, Huang said that China is doing "fantastic" in the AI market, with homegrown models like DeepSeek and Manus emerging as credible challengers to US-built systems. He also said China's AI researchers are some of the very best in the world, and it's no surprise that US companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are hiring them. "Our competition in China is really intense," Huang said in May at the Computex Taipei tech conference in Taiwan. While China races ahead, Huang has been critical of Washington's response. He said in Taiwan that US chip export controls — aimed at slowing China's AI progress — have backfired. "The export control gave them the spirit, the energy, and the government support to accelerate their development. So I think, all in all, the export control is a failure," he said.

Latest Mouser Series Navigates the Balance of AI and Human Expertise in Engineering
DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas, July 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today released its latest installment of the Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) technology series, AI-powered engineering. This installment explores the balancing act of utilizing the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with human expertise. AI-powered tools are now enabling engineers to streamline complex design processes with unprecedented precision. By offloading time-consuming analysis and surfacing design insights faster, AI allows engineers to focus on what they do best: solving high-level challenges, pushing technical boundaries, and crafting sophisticated solutions. As generative intelligence and predictive modeling become more advanced, the synergy between human insight and machine intelligence is redefining how engineering problems are approached and how quickly innovations can reach the market. With proper utilization, engineers can push boundaries, innovate more freely, and ultimately deliver more robust and sophisticated solutions. This human-centric approach to AI integration ensures that technology becomes a trusted collaborator. Engineers remain at the heart of every breakthrough, equipped with the tools to move faster, think bigger, and innovate with greater confidence than ever before. In The Tech Between Us podcast, host Raymond Yin, Mouser Director of Technical Content, is joined by Nemanja Jokanovic, Head of Sales at SnapMagic, to examine the evolution of engineering tools with recent AI integration and how it has impacted the future of design. The In Between The Tech podcast features Nirman Dave, CEO at Zams, as he discusses key factors in determining the quality of AI platforms, the benefits of low-code/no-code programs, and how AI-based tools can be used to enhance designs. "AI is revolutionizing the engineering workflow, enabling us to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy and efficiency," said Yin. "The future lies in creating harmony between human ingenuity and the capabilities provided by AI-powered tools. This installment examines how engineers can master that collaboration to pioneer innovations the world has yet to imagine." In addition to the podcast, the EIT series includes an in-depth video, technical articles, and topic-related infographics, as well as subscriber-exclusive content, diving into how engineers can build a symbiotic relationship between their knowledge and intelligently powered tools. By exploring this relationship with AI, the series provides engineering professionals with the knowledge to develop a new wave of innovative solutions.
