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.
