Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang challenges AI assumptions following DeepSeek success: ‘Almost the entire world got it wrong’

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has fired back at recent skepticism surrounding the company’s dominance in the AI chip market, directly addressing claims that competitors like China’s DeepSeek have achieved comparable AI capabilities with significantly less hardware. At a big event for computer programmers, Huang said that everyone has been wrong about how much computer power you need for AI.

“Almost the entire world got it wrong,” Huang said on stage at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference (GTC) he called “the Super Bowl of AI”, as per news agency Reuters.
