Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang and AMD chief Lisa Su have been appointed to an advisory board at Tsinghua University, a prestigious Chinese institution. The new members join Marc Pictet, senior managing partner of Pictet Group, as part of the School of Economics and Management's (SEM) advisory board. Huang is recognized for inventing graphic processing units and launching the AI era, while Su is praised for transforming AMD into a leading computing firm.
The appointments come amid ongoing US-China tech tensions, as both companies continue to seek access to the Chinese market despite restrictions. Tsinghua SEM's advisory board, established in 2000, serves as a platform to strengthen ties between the academic institution and global business leaders, supporting research, teaching, and international exchanges.
Previous chair Tim Cook and honorary chairman Wang Qishan have contributed to the board's role in fostering China's economic development.
