Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the importance of AI infrastructure at the G20 Innovation Ministerial in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He stated that AI is as foundational to every country's development as core infrastructure, such as water and electricity. Huang suggested that countries should invest in building their own AI infrastructure, rather than relying on others.

Huang also called AI 'the great equalizer', saying it will democratize intelligence and capabilities for the G20 countries. He noted that investing in AI can help elevate a country's society and industry quickly.
