Nvidia CEO urges German manufacturers to adopt AI, saying digital tech won’t replace heavy industry
The pact will fund computing power and joint projects as Germany seeks to build AI systems for robots, cars and factory operations.
- On Monday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced a strategic AI partnership at the Invest in Germany Summit in Berlin to accelerate industrial adoption.
- This initiative follows Huang's warning last week that Germany risked falling behind in the artificial intelligence race, prompting the chipmaker's nearly $10 billion European investment commitment.
- Alongside start-up Black Forest Labs, around 10 established German companies including Siemens and Audi are participating, with technologies expected to reduce engineering work by up to 85% and production costs by 20%.
- The German government plans to invest hundreds of millions of Euros to purchase computing capacity in Deutsche Telekom's Industrial AI Cloud, which utilizes NVIDIA's latest Blackwell hardware.
- Merz urged domestic firms to "Please open your doors for AI to make use of your data," while Huang reassured industry leaders that "AI can only augment your capability, it will not replace your capability.
