Huang, who arrived in Taiwan Friday ahead of meetings with longtime partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, took the opportunity also to clarify comments about the US-China AI race. The Nvidia honcho caused a stir in an interview this week with FT, when he was quoted as saying “China will win” that competition. Huang explained he merely intended to point out the Asian country’s prowess in the fledgling technology.
