Huawei is making huge leaps in the AI semiconductor industry, and one of the US officials believes that the Chinese OEM will soon begin exporting its Ascend chips globally! The chief also mentioned that the gap between the US and China’s tech is reducing.
David Sacks – an AI technology and policy advisor to the US president, has recently stated in an interview that China is constantly narrowing the tech gap with the US.
The executive said that certain Chinese companies have reduced the AI semiconductor design gap with the US tech makers by a huge margin in a small span of time.
Instead of 5 years, China is merely 1.5 or 2 years behind the US in the field of AI chipset design and packaging technology. At the same time, the AI advisor suggested that Huawei is one of these companies that is making significant strides in this race.
During the interview, David Sachs predicted that Huawei may soon start shipping its AI chips globally, sparking a strong competition among other global chipmakers.
He added:
“Although Huawei is constrained in GPU production, it is catching up very quickly and is very likely to become an indispensable hardware supplier in the global market in the future. It may soon begin exporting AI chips, triggering fierce competition for global technology stack dominance.”

Most of the AI workloads don’t need cutting-edge tech components. In that case, Huawei can take over the race as it is focusing more on improving its existing solutions rather than running behind the new technologies.
Some other industry insiders have noted that if Huawei is capable enough of making high-performance AI products at cost-effective rates, it can rival Nvidia and AMD.
Huawei seems to have bigger AI plans for the coming years. Though how far the new prediction turns into a reality would be interesting to see!
