Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Saturday that the company will balance legal compliance and technological advancements under the incoming Trump administration, and that nothing will stop the global advancement of artificial intelligence (AI).
The American semiconductor champion once again greatly exceeded expectations for its delayed third quarter, publishing a net profit of $19.3 billion this week and ensuring that demand for its AI chips will not decrease.
Jensen Huang was in Hong Kong to receive an honorary doctorate in engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
“We will serve our customers all over the world”
“No matter what happens, we will simultaneously balance compliance with laws and policies, continue to advance our technology, and support and serve our customers around the world,” the American-Taiwanese businessman said, after being asked if he thought Donald Trump would tighten the measures. controls on semiconductors.
The United States and its allies have restricted technology exports to China, including semiconductors and the machines used to make them, moves denounced by Beijing. Huang said on Saturday that “open science and research in AI is absolutely global.”
Nvidia’s CEO also praised China’s “significant contributions” to scientific research, which have advanced AI. Taking advantage of the appetite for AI, Nvidia became the world’s largest capitalization in early November (around $3.48 billion), surpassing Apple ($3.4 billion).
