Is Jensen Huang’s Departure Actually a Win for the US Against China?


Nouriel Roubini tells Julie Hyman and Jake Conley that Jensen Huang’s departure from Nvidia paradoxically strengthens America’s position against China, for three reasons: the most advanced frontier models are now tightly guarded, the route by which advanced chips reached China via Singapore is closing, and Western startups are building chips on a different architecture. The economist once known for his pessimism then argues US potential growth reaches 4% by 2030 and 10% by 2050, that the AI build-out is inflationary now and disinflationary within three years, and that a universal basic income is affordable if the winners are taxed. Forecasts here are his own.
