Nvidia main Jensen Huang said that AI robotics is simply a "once-in-a-generation" accidental for Europe arsenic the portion boasts an concern manufacturing basal that is "incredibly strong."
"You tin present fuse your concern capability, your manufacturing capability, with artificial intelligence, and that brings you into the satellite of carnal AI, oregon robotics," helium said successful an code astatine the World Economic Forum successful Davos connected Wednesday.
It presents an accidental to "leap past" the epoch of software, helium added, which has been led by the U.S.
Rise of AI robotics
Attention crossed the concern and tech sectors has progressively shifted to autonomous robotics arsenic caller advances successful AI committedness much capabilities.
European concern and manufacturing giants, including Siemens, Mercedes-Benz Group, Volvo and Schaeffler, person each announced robotics projects and partnerships with robotics tech companies successful the past year.
Big Tech companies person besides been doubling down successful the space. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said 80% of the company's worth would travel from its Optimus humanoid robots successful September, Google's AI part DeepMind released AI models for robotics successful 2025, and Nvidia announced partnerships with Alphabet to enactment connected carnal AI successful March.
Tech investors person taken note. Companies gathering robotics raised a grounds $26.5 cardinal successful 2025, according to woody counting level Dealroom.
Getting superior astir energy
To instrumentality vantage of the accidental successful AI, Europe has to "get serious" astir its vigor proviso truthful that it tin put successful the infrastructure layer, Huang said.
The portion has immoderate of the highest vigor costs successful the world. Microsoft brag Satya Nadella said vigor costs volition beryllium a cardinal origin successful determining however palmy countries are successful the AI race astatine WEF connected Tuesday.
"I deliberation that it's reasonably definite that you person to get superior astir expanding your vigor proviso truthful that you could put successful the infrastructure layer, truthful that you could person a affluent ecosystem of artificial quality present successful Europe," Huang said.
Europe has been grappling with limited entree to energy arsenic hyperscalers look to rotation retired AI infrastructure crossed the region.
That accelerated buildout is showing nary signs of slowing down, said Huang. AI has started the "largest infrastructure buildout successful quality history," helium told the assemblage astatine WEF.
"We're present a fewer 100 cardinal dollars into it. There are trillions of dollars of infrastructure that needs to beryllium built out."
