Nvidia, the top chip company in the world, and iPhone maker Foxconn are teaming up to build something they call “AI factories.”
These are special places that use Nvidia chips to do all sorts of cool things.
These factories will help train self-driving cars, operate robots, and work on big language models.
It’s a pretty big deal in the tech world.
But here’s the twist: The United States has decided to stop selling fancy computer chips to China, and this hurts Nvidia because they were making two special chips just for China.
This new rule means they can’t sell those chips anymore.
Nvidia’s boss, Jensen Huang, and Foxconn’s chairman, Young Liu, talked about this exciting project at a big tech event in Taipei.
They said these AI factories are like new places that make smart things, and Foxconn is good at building them all over the world.
Mr. Liu also said that Foxconn is changing from a company that makes stuff into a company that makes solutions.
They’re thinking about using these AI factories to help make smart cities and smart factories.
Thanks to the powerful chips that Nvidia makes, their company is now worth over a trillion dollars! That’s a lot of money.
Only a few other big tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon are in this exclusive “Trillion dollar club.”
Foxconn, the company that makes many Apple products, is also looking to try new things.
They’ve been good at putting together computers and phones, but they want to do more.
Mr. Liu mentioned in an interview that they’re focusing on making electric cars in the future.
Back in January, Foxconn and Nvidia said they’d work together to make self-driving car systems.
Foxconn would make the electronic parts for cars using Nvidia’s chips.
It’s part of their plan to be a big player in the electric car world.
