Nvidia's AI Chip Network to Meet Japan's Tech Demands

Nvidia plans to collaborate with Japanese research organizations, companies, and startups to build an AI ecosystem in Japan, meeting the country's demand for artificial intelligence. The company will establish an AI research laboratory, invest in local startups, and educate the public on AI usage. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, expressed confidence in Japan's technical expertise and industrial capability to develop its own AI infrastructure, leveraging its expertise in materials science, chipmaking tools, and robotics. The move aligns with Japan's efforts to regain tech leadership and develop cutting-edge semiconductors. Nvidia supplies chips to Japanese companies, including SoftBank, NEC, NTT, Sakura Internet, and Mitsui, all of which are racing to build Japan-specific AI infrastructure.
