How China is challenging Nvidia's AI chip dominance Osmond Chia BBC Business reporter 10/05/2025 The US has dominated the global technology market for decades. But China wants to change that. The world's second largest economy is pouring huge amounts of money into artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. Crucially, Beijing is also investing heavily to produce the high-end chips that power these cutting-edge technologies. Last month, Jensen Huang - the boss of Silicon Valley-based AI chip giant Nvidia - warned that China was just "nanoseconds behind" the US in chip development. So can Beijing match American technology and break its reliance on imported high-end chips? After DeepSeek China's DeepSeek sent shockwaves through the tech world in 2024 when it launched a rival to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The announcement by a relatively unknown startup was impressive for a number of reasons, not least because the company said it cost much less to train than leading AI models. It was said to have been created using far fewer high-end chips than its rivals,and its launch temporarily sank Silicon Valley-based Nvidia's market value. And momentum in China's tech sector has continued. This year, some of the country's big tech firms have made it clear that they aim to take on Nvidia and become the main advanced chip suppliers for local companies. In September, Chinese state media said a new chip announced by Alibaba can match the performance of Nvidia's H20 semiconductors while using less energy. H20s are scaled-down processors made for the Chinese market under US export rules. Huawei also unveiled what it said were its most powerful chips ever, along with a three-year plan to challenge Nvidia's dominance of the AI market. The Chinese tech giant also said it would make its designs and computer programs available to the public in Chinain an effort to drawfirms away from their reliance on US products. BBC news One can already see bias in AI responses to questions of a historical, political, or geopolitical subject. Any model that uses Wikipedia on those subjects are going to heavily biased since the State Department and other agencies have been flagged as frequent editors. The same is going to be true for the news media that's become a tool of Israel's propaganda campaign as well as having become bifurcated along political lines into two camps. One could eventually see the same thing with different AI chatbots as happened with news aggregators.
