  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a further $2 billion investment, around 2.7 trillion won, to bolster Europe's artificial intelligence ecosystem, building upon an $8 billion investment in the region over the past year. This significant capital commitment aims to stimulate demand for Nvidia's products and bolster regional AI sovereignty. The investments will support companies like Doctolib, a medical software provider, and French AI startups such as Genesis AI, Pigment, and Entalpic. Huang emphasized the importance of Europe adopting open-source models that can be adapted to individual languages and sovereignty requirements to narrow the gap with the United States. In the United Kingdom, Nvidia pledged $250 million worth of computing resources over the next five years to aid AI safety research and the development of agent-control technologies at institutions like the University of Oxford and University College London (UCL). Huang warned that if AI developers are deemed irresponsible, Nvidia might hypothetically cut off chip supplies. However, he stressed that dialogue should precede any such action, acknowledging the limits of intervening in how customers utilize general-purpose technology. Addressing calls to slow AI development due to safety concerns, Huang argued that the focus should be on advancing risk-mitigation technologies and monitoring systems. He pushed back against assertions that AI investment might be in a bubble, expressing confidence in the ongoing demand for AI infrastructure, which continues to outpace supply. Nvidia's performance is bolstered by decreasing costs per AI token, falling by a factor of 30 to 40 annually, which enhances customer benefits and fosters a positive growth cycle. Huang identified physical AI, including humanoid robots, as the next major market for Nvidia and reiterated his dedication to ongoing technological innovation.",
