Nvidia chief Jensen Huang urged G20 ministers on Wednesday to build more data centers to support the artificial intelligence revolution and warned that leaders who talk up the technology's dangers risk leaving their countries behind.

Huang made the plea on the second day of a G20 meeting in North Carolina, where the Trump administration has corralled top AI executives to pitch their vision to ministers from the world's leading economies.

"In the end, what every single country will have to recognize is that (AI) is infrastructure, just as it's water, roads, electricity, the internet," Huang told ministers at the event.

"Every single country needs to build infrastructure so that you can support your own local economy," he said.

Nvidia is the key company behind the generative AI frenzy that has catapulted it to become the world's most valuable publicly traded company.

The company's graphics processing units (GPUs), housed in specially built data centers going up across the world, are key components for training AI models.

Such facilities provide "the digital intellectual capacity to support your researchers and students and society and industries and startups," he said.

Huang pushed back on notions that AI posed a threat to jobs, one of the fears that has fueled public opposition to the technology.

"The idea that somehow all the jobs are going to be eliminated or removed—that's just nonsense," Huang told the G20 technology ministers.
