Jensen Huang: The next generation of AI infrastructure will require a large number of optical connections, and copper wires can no longer meet the demand.

On Wednesday, Eastern Time, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, in an interview, highly praised its new collaboration with Corning Incorporated, calling it a significant opportunity to rebuild the US technology supply chain. Huang stated that next-generation AI infrastructure will require a massive amount of optical connectivity because computing demands are growing so rapidly that copper wires can no longer meet the needs. "We will be scaling up the application of optical technology on an unprecedented scale, frankly, no other optics company has ever done so," Huang said. Huang also stated that the benefits of this current wave of AI investment extend far beyond technology companies. He pointed out that the increasing demand from the AI ​​industry for electricians, construction workers, chip manufacturing employees, and data center infrastructure experts is strong evidence that this construction process has already impacted the entire economy.
