Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang asserts that the People's Liberation Army is unlikely to build supercomputers with U.S. technology, as they cannot ensure reliability under potential restrictions. Despite having sufficient computing power from domestic sources, Huang acknowledges that Chinese military institutions have utilized Intel and Nvidia systems for nuclear development. Recent U.S. restrictions on advanced semiconductor sales aim to thwart military applications in China, risking significant revenue losses for Nvidia. The ongoing competition showcases the complexities of technological dependence in military contexts.
"The Chinese military, no different than the American military, will not seek each other's technology out to be built on top of it," he said during a recent interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria.
"If you just think about the number of supercomputers that are in China, built by amazing Chinese engineers that are already in operation, they don't need Nvidia's chips or American tech stacks in order to build their military."
"The idea that Beijing wouldn't use Nvidia's chips even if it could get their hands on them is a bit naive, he opined."
"These chips could fuel Chinese supercomputing efforts into AI and other military applications."
