June 12 (Bloomberg) -- According to Reuters.Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun HuangSpeaking at the VivaTech conference in Paris on Wednesday, the company said it will build its first artificial intelligence cloud platform for industrial use in Germany.
He noted that this platform will combine AI and robotics to help car companies such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz toOptimizing processes from product design simulation to logistics management.
Jen-Hsun Huang also unveiled a series toEuropeFocused expansion plans include expanding technology centers in seven countries, opening up NVIDIA's computing services platform to European companies, assisting developers of multi-language AI models to level up, and helping companies such as Novo Nordisk accelerate drug development.
Jen-Hsun Huang made a promise during his nearly two-hour speech that "AI computing power in Europe will increase tenfold in the next two years. Europe has realized the importance of AI factories and related infrastructure." According to the plan, NVIDIA will be in EuropeConstruction of 20 AI FactoryThe first is a large-scale infrastructure built specifically for developing, training and deploying AI models.
Europe is currently lagging behind the United States and China in AI technology, but in order to catch up with the gap, the European Commission announced in March this year that it would invest 20 billion U.S. dollars (note: the current exchange rate of about 143,878,000,000 yuan) to build four AI factories.
NVIDIA also plans to partner with European AI newcomer Mistral to build an AI computing platform for local businesses based on 18,000 of the latest NVIDIA chips.
Jen-Hsun Huang has been making frequent visits around the world lately, emphasizing the importance of AI technology for business transformation and the risk of falling behind. In London on Monday, Jen-Hsun Huang said the UK lacks the necessary computing infrastructure to truly unlock its AI research potential.
He also noted that outside of AI, quantum computing technology is at a key turning point, with the promise of cracking complex problems in the future that take years for existing AI systems to solve.
