The Zhitong Finance App learned that Nvidia (NVDA.US) announced on Thursday that it plans to invest 1 billion US dollars over the next five years to support the development of artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing and other cutting-edge scientific fields in the US. The investment will also cover fields such as healthcare and energy security. It aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs through advanced computing technology and promote the transformation of America's scientific and technological innovation achievements into industrial applications.
According to the plan announced by Nvidia, the company will support the scientific research work of American universities and research universities, increase investment in the field of quantum computing, strengthen America's leading position in quantum technology, and support cloud service providers.
Additionally, Nvidia will participate in the “Genesis Project” promoted by the US government. The plan aims to use advanced technology such as artificial intelligence to help scientists speed up the research process and achieve breakthroughs in the fields of medicine, energy, and materials science. The US government announced projects related to the second phase of the plan on Thursday, in which Nvidia will participate in technical cooperation.
Nvidia CEO Hwang In-hoon said in a statement that the “Genesis Project” promoted by US President Trump is beginning a new golden age of American scientific discovery. Huang Renxun pointed out, “Through an investment of 1 billion US dollars, Nvidia will hand advanced super-intelligent technology into the hands of American scientists to accelerate breakthroughs in medicine, energy, and materials science.” He further stated that this will help the United States transform its leading edge in science into industrial competitiveness, and transform technological innovation into jobs and long-term development opportunities.
Notably, Nvidia used the term “Super Intelligence” (Super Intelligence) in this statement. According to related reports, this is an artificial intelligence-related statement that the US federal government currently tends to adopt.
The investment plan also reflects that Nvidia is further expanding the scope of its participation in the US research ecosystem. In addition to providing chips and computing platforms for AI infrastructure, the company also hopes to promote the application of advanced computing technology in the fields of medicine, energy, and materials science by supporting university research, quantum computing, and cloud service ecosystem construction.
Meanwhile, Hwang In-hoon also plans to accept the highest US Medal of Science from Trump at Thursday's event. Also receiving this honor include SpaceX (SPCX.US) and Tesla (TSLA.US) CEO Musk, Google (GOOGL.US) co-founder Sergei Brin, and AMD (AMD.US) CEO Su Zifeng.
