Jensen Huang: Global AI controls on the pace of development are “absurd and ridiculous”; strong demand will drive the industry to resolve construction bottlenecks
BlockBeats reported that October 22, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said on Thursday in Berlin at the GTC conference that global controls on the pace of AI development are “absurd and ridiculous,” and voiced support for the AI cloud computing industry, believing that strong demand for computing power will drive companies to address issues in data center construction and operations. He revealed that he had urged UK AI cloud service provider Nscale to push ahead with its projects, saying the company has high-quality customers and that the key is securing sufficient working capital.
However, the AI infrastructure industry is facing construction delays, financing pressure, and doubts over investment returns. Nscale has encountered data center construction and power-supply bottlenecks, and its proposed 30000000000 USD IPO valuation has also been questioned; another NVIDIA investee, Firmus Grid, has abandoned its 30000000000 USD IPO plan. Meanwhile,AI related stocks have generally come under pressure recently, as market concerns have intensified over new cloud computing providers’ high capital expenditures and cash-flow capacity.
To accelerate data center deployment, NVIDIA launched its container-delivered modular data center product, the GTC Pod, at the Berlin DSX conference, aiming to simplify equipment integration and shorten construction cycles. However, power supply, site conditions, and supporting infrastructure remain key constraints on project implementation. The market’s focus is no longer solely on whether AI demand for computing power can continue growing, but also on whether the relevant companies can convert that demand into actual revenue and cash flow.
