Jensen Huang: Next-generation AI infrastructure will require massive optical connectivity; copper wires can no longer meet demand

Odaily Planet Daily News On Wednesday Eastern Time, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, in an interview, highly praised the company's new collaboration with Corning, calling it a significant opportunity for the United States to rebuild its technology supply chain.

Huang stated that next-generation AI infrastructure will require massive optical connectivity because computing demand is growing so rapidly that copper wires can no longer satisfy the requirements. "We will scale the application of optical technology to an unprecedented level, and frankly, no optical company has ever operated at such a scale," Huang said.

Huang also noted that the benefits of the current wave of AI investment extend far beyond tech companies. He pointed out that the AI industry's increasing demand for electricians, construction workers, chip manufacturing employees, and data center infrastructure experts is strong evidence that this construction process has already rippled through the entire economy.
