Nvidia CEO says American manufacturing has a huge opportunity with AI
'We’re going through the single largest infrastructure buildout in human history', says Huang
Nvidia and Corning sign major partnership to expend optical manufacturing capacity
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has suggested the increasing influence of AI offers the US manufacturing industry a great opportunity to evolve and grow like never before.
“We’re going through the single largest infrastructure buildout in human history,” Huang said on CNBC's Mad Money.
“Artificial intelligence is going to become fundamental infrastructure all over the world, and surely here in the United States.”

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warns of "enormous" China compute capacity
Huang was speaking to announce the launch of Nvidia's partnership with Corning, which will see the latter building three new facilities in Texas and North Carolina, reportedly creating more than 3,000 jobs.
Such deals show the strength of US manufacturing, Huang declared, offering the chance to reinforce a domestic supply chain which doesn't need to solely rely on firms from China or other nations.
“This is such an extraordinary opportunity because we can use these market dynamics to reinvest, revitalize American manufacturing for the first time in several generations,” Huang said.
“We need the support and partnership of the world’s best companies in our supply chain to help us create and realize this future,” he said. “Silicon photonics and optical technology is a very big part of that.”
Huang has unsurprisingly been keen to talk about the advantages of AI for some time, especially when it comes to trying to dispel fears over human job losses, focusing instead on the part it would play in automating routine or boring tasks, freeing up human workers for more engaging areas.
Huang said that people who believe an entire role will be replace simply due to a single part being automated, “misunderstand that the purpose of a job and the task of a job are related”.
At a wider scale, the CEO was also critical of those pushing narratives of Terminator-esque AIs ruling the planet, or killing off parts of the economy.

'I don’t like it when doomers are out scaring people': Nvidia on why AI rhetoric damages America's chances to lead in the AI race
“My greatest concern is that we scare…people," he said, "all the people that we’re telling these science fiction stories to, to the point where AI is so unpopular in the United States, or people are so afraid of it, that they don’t actually engage it."
He also recently revealed how his own experiences have changed, noting, “I feel like I'm getting busier and busier to be honest...my experience with Nvidia today is that it’s making me busier than it was six months ago - and the reason for that is because results work is coming back to you much faster, work is coming back to you much faster, and the number of projects are growing much faster”
“AI is going to get tasks done super fast…my sense is that AI is going to cause us to be able to do things so fast we're going to end up doing more."
