Huang Says U.S. Risks Trailing China in AI Without Energy Reforms
NVIDIA's CEO warned China now generates twice the U.S. electricity, builds data centers in months, and claims 70% of global AI patents.

Without the energy expansion, warned the helm of the advanced chips manufacturer and the world’s highest-valued company, the U.S. risks losing long-term leadership in artificial intelligence.
AI progress “does not start with GPUs” but with the electricity and physical capacity needed to compute at scale, he said at the bipartisan CSIS think tank.
