German Chancellor Scholz wrote in a post today (June 14) saying, "It was a pleasant exchange with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. We hope to strengthen Germany's position as an AI hub. The German government is committed to this. The commitment of companies like NVIDIA has played an important role in this: combining Germany's precision and cutting-edge technology."
Comment: Germany has long been eager to enhance its status in the field of artificial intelligence. Although Germany had a certain foundation in AI research, it lacked strength in converting research into practical applications. Moreover, most companies relied on AI technologies provided by American companies, leaving a long way to go before achieving the goal of "technological sovereignty." The German government had also realized the problem and formulated an AI development strategy, making efforts in terms of financial investment, promoting the integration of industry, academia, and research.
NVIDIA's announcement of cooperation with Deutsche Telekom to create industrial AI cloud services for European manufacturers in Germany, along with providing 10,000 chips, is of great significance to Germany's AI development.
