[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report]When Chris Malachowsky, one of the co-founders of NVIDIA, funded the University of Florida (UF) to build the world’s largest supercomputer (HiPerGator AI), Buddha State Governor Ron DeSantis has predicted that the machine will attract artificial intelligence talent.
“Bloomberg” reported that nearly four years later, DeSantis launched the “Anti-China Real Estate Law” to prevent artificial intelligence researchers from setting foot in the state. Huida’s supercomputer worth US$70 million (approximately NT$2.218 billion) The project is in trouble.
HiPerGator AI uses Huida’s artificial intelligence processor. The plan hopes that the University of Florida will become a leader in cutting-edge computing for academic research. Malachowski is an alumnus of the University of Florida. He and Huida each invested US$25 million (approximately NT$790 million) in the HiPerGator AI project, while the University of Florida also invested US$20 million (approximately NT$6.33). billion).
Artificial intelligence technical talents continue to be in short supply and tense, mainly because AI companies such as Huida offer high salaries to attract artificial intelligence experts to join, exacerbating the shortage of AI talents in academia.
Against this backdrop, recruiting researchers from China, Iran and other countries has helped Florida stay ahead of the curve, but DeSantis’ anti-China real estate laws have hindered the advancement of HiPerGator AI research and competition with out-of-state institutions. To prevent the loss of top talent, hundreds of Florida professors, including President Ben Sasse, have petitioned to lift these restrictions.
Naya Wright, president of the Florida Faculty Senate, said the anti-China real estate law will hinder AI artificial intelligence research and set back research by several years.
In 2018, one-quarter of the world’s top artificial intelligence researchers came from China, 57% of which were recruited by American universities, and three-quarters of them stayed in the United States to work. Iran is among the countries that provide artificial intelligence researchers to the United States. Ranked 4th.
In addition to the United States, Canada has also imposed restrictions on Chinese researchers, and the Netherlands is considering a crackdown.
