[Jensen Huang urges the German Chancellor face-to-face:AI is the last opportunity to reshape industry—if it is not embraced now, it will be too late]

During a fireside chat at the Invest in Germany Summit in Berlin, Germany, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang discussed artificial intelligence and the future of German industry with German Chancellor Merz. Huang urged Merz face-to-face, saying that Germany has deep skills, expertise, and craftsmanship in physical and electromechanical products—its core strengths. However, this industrial revolution will have an enormous impact, and there may be only one opportunity, which must be seized. The greatest challenges currently facing most developed regions are population aging and a shrinking workforce; the craftsmanship and skills Germany has accumulated over generations are being lost as workers age. Huang suggested that Germany use artificial intelligence to preserve this valuable knowledge and experience, through AI programming and teaching, so that these skills remain within Germany. Huang then echoed Merz's remarks, proposing the use of AI to reshape Germany as a key opportunity to restore the competitiveness of German industry.
