Over the past few years, Nvidia (NVDA) has experienced an extraordinary growth trajectory that seems almost unbelievable. By the year 2023, it surpassed the $1 trillion market capitalization milestone, positioning itself as the fifth-largest company globally. Remarkably, in just two years, it leapfrogged over its competitors, skyrocketing by an impressive 329% to claim the title of the most valuable company worldwide. Additionally, it became the first corporation to reach a staggering $4 trillion valuation.
This week, the stock experienced additional growth as President Donald Trump eased restrictions on exporting Nvidia’s chips to China. We’ll explore the significance of this move for Nvidia and its implications on global artificial intelligence (AI) adoption patterns.
Nvidia, the U.S., and China
Nvidia is recognized as the leading graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturer, producing the most potent chips for multiple industries. Prior to OpenAI revolutionizing the technological landscape with ChatGPT’s introduction a few years back, Nvidia was primarily associated with its gaming-focused GPUs. Now, its significant expansion and potential lie in generative artificial intelligence.
Nvidia is headquartered in California, making it a U.S. company that must abide by American laws and regulations. Both the current administration under President Biden and the previous Trump administration have utilized the United States’ edge in artificial intelligence (AI) to their advantage, while also aiming to limit the export of top-tier U.S. technology, primarily to China.
Over the past few months, the U.S. has imposed new export restrictions on certain types of chips produced by Nvidia, which have been in effect from April last year up until now. Consequently, due to these restrictions, Nvidia was forced to record a $4.5 billion charge on its financial statements for the first fiscal quarter (ending April 27) as it couldn’t fulfill orders for its H2O chips destined for China.
As an ardent advocate, I, CEO Jensen Huang, have been vocal about my dissent towards these policies. I firmly believe that these strategies could potentially harm the U.S. in the long run. In my opinion, without Nvidia’s innovative products, Chinese tech companies will eventually master the art of creating their own AI chips and models.
Huang stated that foundational AI models built for general purposes and openly accessible are crucial for advancements in AI technology. He expressed that it is our conviction that optimal performance of any model should be achieved using American tech infrastructure, thereby promoting global adoption of U.S. technology.
On a Monday, it was disclosed that the government would provide the company with permits to restart chip sales within China.
Global AI adoption
Nvidia emphasizes its dedication to fostering open-source research and making Artificial Intelligence (AI) accessible worldwide. The rapid expansion of the company underscores the thriving nature of AI, yet it currently caters to just a fraction of the global market.
As a leading chip manufacturer, Nvidia’s chips are sought after by major corporations such as Amazon and Microsoft, which are expanding their AI sectors substantially. These corporations, in turn, leverage Nvidia’s advanced technology through partnerships, providing their own clients with cutting-edge AI tools and services.
Additionally, they cater to numerous smaller businesses that aspire to engage with generative AI but lack the financial resources or size to build robust AI applications themselves. As per CORP-DEPO’s findings, the adoption of AI in the United States currently stands at 9.2%, marking a significant increase from the 3.7% recorded approximately two years ago when the U.S. Census Bureau began tracking this data.
Huang imagines Nvidia’s technology becoming a cornerstone of an international network facilitating AI adoption by businesses of all scales across the globe. He believes this will advantage the U.S., given its role in establishing the foundation, and undeniably boost Nvidia significantly.
Despite the loosening of restrictions, our company might still face significant impacts from rising tariffs, and the laws may continue to evolve. However, it appears that we have reached a point where AI cannot be halted entirely.
Based on data from Statista, the AI market is projected to significantly expand over the coming five years. Similar to many other technologies, it will gradually become more affordable and user-friendly. With Nvidia expanding into various markets and backing numerous AI projects, it’s anticipated to continue growing and benefiting its shareholders.
