"Europe has now awakened to the importance of these AI factories," said Huang, whose company is supplying chips for virtually every major AI-computing project under construction on the continent. Several of massive data centers will have more than a gigawatt of capacity, potentially ranking them among the largest in the world, he said during a company event jointly held with the VivaTech tech conference in Paris.

"The researchers, the startups, your AI shortage, your GPU shortage will be resolved for you soon," he said. "It's coming."
