Nvidia CEO Predicts 1000% Increase in Europe's AI Computing Power by 2025

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has predicted that Europe's AI computing power will increase tenfold over the next two years, with more than 20 AI factories currently in development. Huang, who leads Nvidia, noted that Europe has recognized the significance of these AI factories. Nvidia is supplying chips for nearly all large-scale AI computing projects under construction in Europe. During the VivaTech technology conference in Paris, Huang highlighted that several large-scale data centers with capacities exceeding 1 exaflop are expected to rank among the world's largest data centers.

Huang addressed researchers and startups, assuring them that their AI and GPU shortages would soon be resolved. "It's coming," he stated. Europe lags behind the U.S. in AI infrastructure and has not matched the spending commitments of other regions. Huang, during a visit to London, noted that while the UK has the expertise and startups, insufficient infrastructure is hindering its ability to compete globally in AI. His recent visits to London and Paris are part of a global effort to promote AI and Nvidia's products.

During his time in Paris, Huang announced several initiatives aimed at bolstering Europe's AI infrastructure. Nvidia will collaborate with Mistral AI to leverage local computing power for the startup's services. "We will build an AI cloud together," Huang said.

Huang's predictions and initiatives underscore a significant push to enhance Europe's AI capabilities. The development of over 20 AI factories and the construction of large-scale data centers indicate a concerted effort to address the region's AI infrastructure deficiencies. The collaboration with Mistral AI further emphasizes Nvidia's commitment to fostering AI development in Europe. As Europe works to catch up with the U.S. in AI infrastructure, these initiatives are expected to play a crucial role in bridging the gap and positioning the region as a major player in the global AI landscape.
