Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a great chance and “this is India’s moment. You have to seize the opportunity”, Nvidia chief executive officer (CEO) Jensen Huang has said after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New York.
The CEO of Nvidia, the company that specialises in AI chips and accelerated computing, noted that India is home to the world’s greatest computer scientists.
“AI really democratises computing, and this is India’s moment. You have to seize the opportunity, said Huang, adding that the company is looking forward to partnering with India on AI.
“India, as you know, is also home of some of the world’s greatest computer scientists. So this is a great opportunity. Artificial intelligence is also a new industry, a new manufacturing industry that’s very important and so I’m looking forward to partner with India in a very deep way to make that possible,” said Huang.
Huang also talked about India’s startup ecosystem
“For all of the startups. India is the home of the third largest startup economy and so this new generation of startups are all based on AI and in order to do so, you have to have AI infrastructure, just the number of partnerships we have all over India,” said Huang.
He also said that Nvidia is partnering with many companies, startups, and IITs across India.
