Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun recently stated at an event in Copenhagen, Denmark that compared to the United States and China, European countries are still lagging behind in the development of AI and are struggling to support the hardware equipment required by AI systems, so they must accelerate AI development as soon as possible. Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun recently attended an event in Copenhagen, Denmark, and together with the Danish King, launched the country's largest sovereign AI supercomputer. This new facility aims to promote breakthroughs in quantum computing, clean energy, biotechnology, and other fields. However, according to a report by Reuters, Huang Renxun publicly stated at the event that compared to the United States and China, European countries are still lagging behind in the promotion of AI and are struggling to support the hardware equipment required by AI systems. Currently, there are only a few artificial intelligence companies in Europe, including France's Mistral and Germany's Aleph Alpha. Huang Renxun further stated that European countries must accelerate AI development because every country is awakening to the realization that data is a national resource, and the tool to narrow the gap is AI infrastructure, especially Nvidia GPUs. In addition, regarding Huang Renxun's call for European countries to accelerate the development of the AI industry, users on the PTT community have expressed their own opinions. Many people believe that the problem lies with the countries themselves because Europe has already lost its competitive drive in AI and high-tech fields. Some people also pointed out that AI involves personal privacy, which makes it relatively difficult to promote in the European Union. Moreover, the issue of electricity is also a key factor. Europe's electricity supply is mainly based on environmentally friendly and renewable energy, so the construction of AI data centers faces relatively high resistance. On the other hand, when Huang Renxun attended the Taipei International Computer Show (COMPUTEX 2024) in Taiwan in June, there were industry insiders who revealed that Huang Renxun intended to establish a second research and development center and data center in Taiwan, which caused a lot of discussion among the Taiwanese public at that time. However, to this day, there is still no news of Nvidia building a factory in Taiwan. In contrast, Ubitus K.K., a cloud service provider invested by Nvidia, plans to establish a new data center in Japan, emphasizing that the data center must be located near nuclear power plants. Ubitus CEO Guo Rongchang stated that the company is considering purchasing land in Kyoto, Shimane Prefecture, or Kyushu Island because these areas have abundant nuclear energy resources. In addition, according to a previous report by BlockTempo, TSMC CFO Huang Zhaoren stated at a press conference that in the latest electricity price adjustment in October of this year, TSMC's electricity cost increased by 14%, which is the highest price among all operating areas globally. However, Taiwan Power Company subsequently responded that in Japan, companies can negotiate with the government to obtain lower electricity prices. The reason why Ubitus, invested by Nvidia, sets up its data center near a nuclear power plant may be due to not only the abundant nuclear energy resources but also the possibility of negotiating lower electricity prices with the Japanese government.
