Nvidia aims to build industrial AI platform in Germany
'In just two years, we will increase the amount of AI computing capacity in Europe by a factor of 10,' Huang said. 'Europe has now awakened to the importance of AI factories and the importance of the AI infrastructure,' he said, laying out plans for 20 AI factories – large-scale infrastructure designed for developing, training and deploying AI models – in Europe.
While Europe has lagged behind the U.S. and China in developing AI technologies, the European Commission said in March that it planned to invest $20 billion to construct four AI factories. Nvidia is also partnering European AI champion Mistral to create AI computing that runs on 18,000 of the latest Nvidia chips for European businesses.
'Sovereign AI is an imperative – no company, industry or nation can outsource its intelligence', Huang said. Huang has been travelling the globe to highlight the importance of businesses adopting AI and the dangers of falling behind.
