Nvidia has unveiled an ambitious plan to invest up to $500 billion in building AI supercomputers entirely within the United States. This move is seen as a strategic response to growing global tensions and the increasing importance of AI sovereignty.
As part of the plan, Nvidia will collaborate with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas to establish more than 1 million square feet of manufacturing and data center infrastructure. These facilities will focus on producing Nvidia’s advanced GPU chips and powering cutting-edge AI models like ChatGPT and autonomous vehicle systems.
This massive investment aims to reduce dependency on overseas manufacturing, particularly in Taiwan and China, while ensuring faster development and deployment of AI technologies on U.S. soil.
The announcement comes amid tightened export restrictions on AI chips to China, which have impacted Nvidia’s global sales. In a related update, the company revealed a $5.5 billion charge due to those restrictions.
By committing to domestic production, Nvidia not only reinforces U.S. tech independence but also positions itself as a central player in the global AI arms race.
