Huawei pitches AI chips to Egypt in test of US tech diplomacy
If successful, the project would mark early but meaningful progress for China’s campaign to challenge American dominance in global AI infrastructure.
Huawei Technologies Co has presented Egypt with a proposal to construct AI data centers for military, surveillance, and public sector applications. This 12-month plan includes exporting 1,408 of its high-end Ascend 950-series chips and an additional 600 chips or 910B model for two inference clusters. If successful, the project would mark a significant step forward for China's efforts to challenge American dominance in global AI infrastructure.
If successful, this project would make Huawei a key AI provider to Africa's second-largest economy, and establish a foothold in the Middle East, where the US has made significant investments in AI data center markets.
