Huang Renxun, founder of Nvidia: Countries around the world are investing in sovereign AI, artificial intelligence is the cornerstone of the country

Huang Renxun accepted an interview with Wired and talked about his busy schedule traveling around the world in the past year and Nvidia's global promotion of Sovereign AI. Huang Renxun was in Bangkok, Thailand during the interview, where he would meet with fifty-six startup teams in one day and experience the wonderful entrepreneurial atmosphere in Bangkok. He mentioned that he had attended Rudy International, an international school in Thailand, when he was five years old, and now he feels familiar being back in Thailand.

Huang Renxun specifically mentioned that this trip to Thailand has fully felt their understanding of the importance of sovereign AI, realizing that AI data is part of the country, and can use social and cultural knowledge through artificial intelligence cloud databases, generative AI, and big data aggregation analysis, fully utilized in various fields and fed back to the people of the country.

What is Sovereign AI?

Sovereign AI refers to a country developing artificial intelligence infrastructure through software and hardware equipment, data, labor, and telecommunications networks. Investing in the development of sovereign AI allows a country to simultaneously control data and develop applications in areas such as transportation, communication, business, entertainment, and healthcare. Many countries and state-owned telecommunications companies have collaborated to develop AI cloud databases, fully utilizing AI data in applications such as education, healthcare, legal, and financial technology.

Sovereign AI can promote cultural and linguistic communication and exchange

Sovereign AI covers the infrastructure of physical and data databases, which can be used by development teams to train large-scale language models on artificial intelligence databases, helping people using different dialects to communicate and increase ethnic inclusiveness.

NVIDIA has been promoting the AI Nations program globally since 2019, supporting the development of AI ecosystems and employee education and training in various countries.

Countries around the world are investing in sovereign AI

Headquartered in France, Scaleway is building Europe's most powerful cloud-native artificial intelligence supercomputer. Swiss government-controlled Swisscom Group recently announced the construction of Italy's first NVIDIA DGX-powered supercomputer with its Italian subsidiary Fastweb.

The Indian government has also announced the Sovereign AI Program to promote workforce development. Tata Group of India is building a large-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure supported by NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper super chip.

Singapore is nurturing a series of sovereign AI projects, including upgrading the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) with NVIDIA H100 GPU. Using NVIDIA Hopper architecture GPU to accelerate Singtel's operations.

Japan is also fully developing sovereign AI, collaborating with NVIDIA to support the development of large-scale LLM models for Japanese and using AI to enhance natural disaster resilience. SoftBank and NVIDIA are collaborating to establish a generative AI platform for 5G and 6G as well as a distributed AI network.
