Holy Crap It's Like a Rock Concert!

Alright so this Jensen Huang guy right? He's like the Mick Jagger of computer chips. I'm tellin' ya folks were lining up like they were waiting for the new Star Wars movie... or maybe just to get a glimpse of me Peter Griffin the real star. Anyway this Huang fella was in Europe yapping about AI and stuff. Apparently he's got some kinda juice with the Prime Minister of England and the President of France. I'm thinking 'Man if I had that kinda power I'd make them bring back the McRib!'

Nvidia: Europe's Only Hope? (Sounds Like a Bad Sci Fi Movie)

So get this: Nvidia thinks they're gonna help Europe build its own AI empire. Huang keeps saying AI is like electricity. I dunno about that. Last time I messed with electricity I ended up with my hand stuck in a toaster yelling 'Hot hot hot!' But apparently these AI chips are a big deal. They're like the new oil... only you can't fry clams in 'em. Or can you? Hmmm...

Sovereign AI? Is That Like...AI With a Passport?

This Huang dude keeps talking about 'sovereign AI,' which sounds like some kinda spy movie where the robots have their own countries. Basically he wants Europe to build AI data centers in their own countries so they don't have to rely on servers overseas. Sounds reasonable I guess. Unless those overseas servers have all the good channels... you know the ones with the uncensored cartoons! He also said the UK and France were doing a great job which got me thinking I wonder if they would appreciate some of my Quahog history tours?

China's Coming! (And They're Bringing Fortune Cookies)

Now here's the kicker. Apparently China's trying to catch up in the AI race. They've got this company called Huawei and they're building their own chips. Huang says they're a generation behind but they're throwing everything they've got at it. It's like when I tried to beat Quagmire at arm wrestling. He's got the muscles but I've got... well I've got enthusiasm! Giggity! Huang's worried the US ain't keeping up and if the Chinese get into the race they may have a lead.

No McRibs in China?

And it gets worse! Because of some kinda trade war Nvidia can't even sell their best chips to China. That's like telling me I can't have a beer at The Drunken Clam. Unacceptable! Huang's worried that if American companies can't sell to China they'll fall behind. And then where will we be? Probably still watching TV and eating Cheetos but still! It's the principle of the thing!

Robots Cars and Quantum Whatevers! (Sounds Like My Tuesday Night)

Huang also started yapping about the future with robots and driverless cars. He says this is gonna be the 'decade of autonomous vehicles.' Great! Now I can finally take a nap while driving to The Drunken Clam. He also mentioned quantum computing which sounds like something Stewie would build to take over the world. Apparently it can solve complex problems like finding a way to get Chris to do his chores. Now that's something I could use!
