Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spotlighted China's AI prowess at the 3rd China International Supply-Chain Expo, calling algorithms born from the country's massive internet ecosystem 'incredibly sophisticated' and among the world's best.
Speaking with CGTN, Huang praised the scale of China's online services for yielding cutting-edge models that often go unnoticed on the global stage. He noted that 'Alibaba has been an AI company from the beginning,' underscoring the tech giant's early embrace of machine learning.
The remarks followed a fireside chat with Wang Jian, director of Zhejiang Lab and founder of Alibaba Cloud. The pair reflected on their 2012 collaboration and stressed the critical role of open source in accelerating AI innovation.
Huang argued that open-source frameworks and shared research fuel rapid breakthroughs. He encouraged more cross-border partnerships, saying that combining strengths from different markets can unlock new opportunities—from training large language models to deploying AI in healthcare and sustainable supply chains.
For global tech enthusiasts and digital nomads alike, Huang’s comments highlight a shift toward more inclusive AI development. As startups and established players tap into open ecosystems, emerging markets stand to benefit from tools and frameworks once limited to a handful of tech hubs.
Ultimately, the conversation at the expo signals a growing recognition of China’s contributions to the AI landscape—and a call for collaboration that spans continents, cultures, and communities.
