The world is witnessing the biggest infrastructure buildout in history, with the foundation for an artificial intelligence system evolving quickly, according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
“We are now a few hundred billion dollars into it,” he said at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Wednesday, adding that trillions of dollars of infrastructure still had to be built.
Huang described the AI industry as a “five-layered cake” – energy at the bottom, followed by chips, cloud infrastructure, AI models and applications as the cherry on the top.
He said that each country should build their own AI system, incorporating its own language and culture into the AI models. The tech entrepreneur also tried to allay concerns about AI’s impact on the global workforce amid concerns over massive job losses.
Energy is increasingly being recognised by governments worldwide as a vital part of the AI infrastructure in the intensifying race to dominate the industry.
