Meet Nvidia’s Big New Customers: Governments
英偉達迎來新的大客戶：各國政府
Late in 2023, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang began advocating a new vision: every country should develop its own “sovereign AI” system—trained on domestic data, aligned with national values, and supported by local infrastructure. Appealing to policymakers’ manufacturing ambitions, Huang likened these systems to “AI factories” that process data and produce intelligence.2023年底，英偉達CEO黃仁勳提出新理念：每個國家都應打造自主的“主權AI”系統——依託本土資料訓練、契合國家價值觀、由本地基礎設施支撐。為迎合政策制定者對製造業的偏愛，他將這些系統比作“AI工廠”：既能消化資料，又能生成智慧成果。
重點詞彙與表達：advocating（倡導）、aligned with（與……一致）、infrastructure（基礎設施）、policymakers（政策制定者）、colossus（巨頭）、churning out（大量生產）
