NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Highlights Greater Bay Area's Tech Edge at HKUST Ceremony
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang attended the 2024 Honorary Doctorate Conferment Ceremony at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where he received an honorary doctorate in engineering. During his acceptance speech, Huang discussed transformative trends in artificial intelligence, specifically emphasizing robotics and AI agents as critical areas for future development. In a subsequent dialogue with HKUST Council Chairman Harry Shum, Huang highlighted the unique competitive advantages of the Greater Bay Area (GBA). He argued that the GBA possesses a distinct global edge by seamlessly integrating electromechanical engineering with advanced AI technologies, a combination he noted is lacking in traditional powerhouses like Japan and Germany. Furthermore, Huang predicted that the future robotics industry would consolidate around three main categories: automobiles, drones, and humanoid robots. This prediction aligns with previous statements he made earlier in the year, which drew agreement from Tesla CEO Elon Musk regarding the potential scale of humanoid robot production. The event underscored the growing significance of the GBA as a central hub for technological innovation and manufacturing integration.
