英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋敦促欧洲更快地采用人工智能,在部分投资者对投入该技术基础设施的资金日益怀疑之际,他表达了乐观态度。
Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang pushed Europe to adopt artificial intelligence more quickly, striking a bullish note as some investors grow more skeptical about the sums being poured into the infrastructure underpinning the technology.
这家总部位于加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉的公司芯片推动了人工智能热潮,在此次活动上发布了新的数据中心设备、软件、模型,并宣布与欧洲大陆领先企业建立合作关系。
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company, whose chips have powered the artificial intelligence boom, unveiled new data center equipment, software, models and partnerships with leading companies on the continent at the event.
“欧洲要想从人工智能中受益,并真正打造出人工智能生态系统和人工智能经济,就需要所有终端市场、终端行业都采用人工智能,”黄仁勋周三在柏林举行的公司GTC大会上表示。他提到了汽车行业、金融服务和医疗保健。“所有这些不同的行业都必须成为人工智能公司。”此次活动是黄仁勋欧洲之行的一部分,他一直在与当地公司达成交易,并试图说服欧洲的政治和商业领袖相信人工智能是安全的。
“For Europe to benefit from AI, and to have really created an AI ecosystem and AI economy, you need all the end markets, the end industries to adopt AI,” Huang said Wednesday at his company’s GTC conference in Berlin. He pointed to the automotive sector, financial services and health care. “All of these different industries have to become AI companies.”The event is part of a tour through Europe by Huang, who has beeng deals with local companies and trying to persuade the continent’s political and business leaders that artificial intelligence is safe.

他的此行正值该行业的一个微妙时刻。过去两周,人工智能股票遭受重创,备受关注的费城证券交易所半导体指数经历了自2008年以来最长的连跌。
His trip comes at a delicate moment for the industry. AI stocks have been battered during the past two weeks, and the closely watched Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index suffered its longest losing streak since 2008.
黄仁勋及其高管团队在全球各地举办GTC大会,介绍最新的人工智能进展,同时旨在为公司不断扩大的产品线争取业务。
Huang and his executive team hold GTC conferences around the globe, explaining the latest AI developments while aiming to drum up business for the company’s ever-expanding product lineup.
新设备包括DSX Pod,该产品相当于一个小型数据中心,可供试图更快让硬件投入运行的公司使用。通过一个集装箱,客户即可获得所需的服务器硬件、布线和管道——且已安装并测试完毕。英伟达表示,只需将其插上电源并与其他类似单元连接即可。
The new equipment includes the DSX Pod, a product that acts as a mini data center and can be used by companies trying to get hardware up and running more quickly. With one container, customers get the server hardware, cabling and plumbing they need — already installed and tested. It only needs to be plugged in and linked to other similar units, Nvidia said.
英伟达表示,这一由戴尔科技公司等英伟达合作伙伴共同打造的新设计,将把安装此类硬件所需的时间从目前的六个月缩短至14天。
The new design, put together by Nvidia partners such as Dell Technologies Inc., will bring down the time required to install such hardware to 14 days from the current six months, Nvidia said.
该集装箱最适合部署规模小于 1 吉瓦的小型项目。数据中心项目通常按其能耗量来衡量,因为这是关键投入要素。
The container is best suited to smaller-scale deployments of less than a gigawatt. Data center projects are typically measured by the amount of energy they consume since that’s a critical input.
这家芯片制造商表示,欧洲各地的客户正在采用其 DSX AI 数据中心蓝图和最新的处理器设计 Vera Rubin。由 Nvidia 支持的数据中心开发商 Nscale Ltd. 便是其中之一。
The chipmaker said customers across Europe are adopting its DSX AI data center blueprint and newest processor design, Vera Rubin. Nscale Ltd., an Nvidia-backed data center developer, is among those companies.
作为全球市值最高的上市公司,Nvidia 经常将供应链瓶颈列为制约其增长的障碍。为应对这一问题,Ibiden Co.、Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. 和 Unimicron Technology Corp. 将帮助其获取更多基板 —— 即用于承载其他组件的材料。
Nvidia, the world’s most valuable publicly traded company, has frequently cited supply chain constraints as an impediment to its growth. To combat that, Ibiden Co., Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. and Unimicron Technology Corp. will help it get more substrates — the materials used to house other components.
Amkor Technology Inc. 将帮助到 2028 年底将芯片封装产能提高四倍。这种材料用于封装半导体并将其与其他组件连接。而 KYEC Microelectronics Co. 将扩大测试产能。Nvidia 还在帮助提升片上光互连的可用性,这将加快组件间的通信速度。
Amkor Technology Inc. will help increase the amount of chip packaging available by fourfold by the end of 2028. That material is used to encase semiconductors and connect them with other components. And KYEC Microelectronics Co. will increase testing capacity. Nvidia is also helping to boost the availability of on-package optical connections, which will speed up communication between components.
随着人们日益担忧 AI 将变得过于难以让人类控制,Nvidia 正在开发软件,以确保所谓的智能体 —— 即编排多个模型和程序使用的程序 —— 保持在规定范围内。Nvidia 提供了一套软硬件结合的参考设计,防止智能体访问不应访问的数据,并防止它们自行赋予权限去做设计者未明确允许的事情。
With concerns growing that AI will become too difficult for humans to control, Nvidia is developing software to ensure that so-called agents — programs that orchestrate the use of multiple models and programs — stay within prescribed limits. Nvidia is offering up a reference design combination of hardware and software that stops agents from accessing data they shouldn’t and prevents them from giving themselves permission to do things not explicitly allowed by their designers.
在所谓的物理 AI 领域 —— 该领域包括机器人技术 —— Nvidia 表示取得了快速进展。公司称,该市场的收入在上半年增长了多达 30%,达到约 110 亿美元。
In so-called physical AI — a field that includes robots — Nvidia said it’s making rapid progress. Revenue from that market rose as much as 30% to about $11 billion in the first half of the year, the company said.
英伟达宣布与西门子集团的一个部门合作,共同开发基于人工智能的先进放射治疗设备。这类设备能够实时监测患者的呼吸和动作,并动态调整治疗剂量。
Nvidia announced a tie-up with a Siemens AG division for the deployment of AI-based advanced radiation therapy machinery. Such machines will monitor patient breathing and movements and adjust dosage dynamically.
虽然人形机器人是人工智能在现实世界中得以广泛应用的关键技术之一,但其实际应用仍面临诸多挑战;许多公司正在尝试利用英伟达的芯片和软件来解决这些问题。英伟达表示,由于相关技术非常复杂且开发成本高昂,目前只有资金雄厚的企业才能涉足这一领域。
The difficulty of deploying humanoid robots — one of the key mechanisms by which AI will become pervasive in the real world — remains a problem that many companies are working on using Nvidia’s chips and software. The problems are so complex and expensive that the field is now only served by well-funded companies, Nvidia said.
为让更多研究人员能够参与相关研究,英伟达正与 Agile Robots SE 公司合作,共同开发一个开源的机器人开发平台。该平台将搭载英伟达的 Jetson Thor 计算机硬件,并集成在 Agile One SN 人形机器人中。
To help open up the work to as many as possible, Nvidia is working with Agile Robots SE to create an open robotics platform that researchers can use to do development work. It’ll come with Nvidia’s Jetson Thor computer hardware inside of an Agile One SN humanoid.
在汽车领域,沃尔沃汽车(Volvo AB)正在使用英伟达的芯片来开发自动驾驶汽车;大众汽车(Volkswagen AG)也在其商用车辆中采用了英伟达的产品;而 Bolt Technology OU 公司则利用英伟达的软件和硬件来开发用于自动驾驶出租车的机器人系统。
In the automotive field, Nvidia said Volvo AB is making self-driving cars that use its chips. Volkswagen AG is using Nvidia products for commercial vehicles, and Bolt Technology OU is using the tech company’s software and gear for robotaxis.
