Huawei, China's technology giant, has unveiled a new chip technology that challenges global leaders such as NVIDIA.

中国のテクノロジー大手ファーウェイはNVIDIAをはじめとする世界的リーダー企業に挑戦する新たなチップ技術を発表した

This highlights that the gap between China and the United States in the field of artificial intelligence is gradually narrowing.

これは人工知能の領域において中国と米国の間に存在する隔たりが縮小しつつあることを浮き彫りにするものである

Huawei's revelation at its annual keynote conference held in Shanghai on Thursday came just days before a scheduled meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington on September 24.

ファーウェイが木曜日に上海で開催された年次基調会議で明らかにしたのは、9月24日にワシントンで予定される米国のドナルド・トランプ大統領と中国の習近平国家主席の会談のわずか数日前であった。

Because US-led restrictions have blocked China's access to the world's most advanced AI chips and cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the country has rapidly pursued technological self-reliance, including in chips.

米国主導の制限措置によって、中国は世界で最も先進的なAIチップ最先端の半導体製造装置へのアクセス妨げられたためチップを含む技術的自立急速に追求してきた。

At an event, Huawei unveiled the Atlas 960 SuperPoD computing cluster.

This is the successor to a model released only a few months earlier, and it features improvements in AI training and "inference" (which refers to the process by which a trained AI makes predictions and decisions).

これはわずか数カ月前に発売したモデルの後継機でAIトレーニングと「推論」トレーニング済みのAIが予測や意思決定を行うプロセスを指すの改善を備えている

Huawei has further revealed plans to introduce its Ascend 970 and 980 chip series in 2028 and 2029, and these are expected to bring about a dramatic leap in computing power.

ファーウェイはさらに、2028年および2029年にAscend 970ならびに980チップシリーズを投入する計画を明らかにしており、計算能力の飛躍的な向上がもたらされるものと見込まれている。

"Coming less than two weeks before President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington, this timing underscores Beijing's confidence and ambition in technology and innovation," said George Chen, a partner at the consulting firm Asia Group and chair of its digital practice.

「習近平国家主席のワシントン訪問の2週間足らず前というこのタイミングは、技術とイノベーションに対する北京の自信と野心を際立たせている」と、コンサルティング会社アジア・グループのパートナーでデジタルプラクティス議長を務めるジョージ・チェン氏は述べた。

Huawei's announcement coincided with a period when President Trump dismissed calls from AI leaders to slow the development of AI technology for the sake of safety.

ファーウェイの発表はトランプ大統領が安全を目的としてAI技術の開発を遅らせるよう求めるAIリーダーたちの呼びかけを軽視した時期と重なった

President Trump argued that the United States must maintain its superiority over China, and stated, "Whoever wins at AI will be the winner."

トランプ大統領は米国が中国に対する優位を維持しなければならないと主張し「AIで勝つ者が勝者となる」と述べた

Chen stated, "AI is advancing extremely rapidly, and it is impossible for anyone to be certain that they can maintain a lasting advantage."

AIの進歩は極めて急速であり誰もが永続的に優位性を維持できると確信するのは不可能である」とチェン氏は述べた

According to analysts, China's advanced technologies, including AI model training, still show a strong tendency to depend on American-made chips, including those produced by NVIDIA.

アナリストの見解によればAIモデルのトレーニングをはじめとする中国の先進技術は依然としてNVIDIA製を含む米国製チップに依存する傾向が根強い

However, Huawei manufactures its own advanced chips, and as Chinese AI companies increasingly embrace the adoption of domestically produced chips, the company continues to maintain its edge over China's chip developers.

しかしながらファーウェイは独自の先進チップを製造しており中国のAI企業が国産チップの採用をますます受け入れる中で同社は中国のチップ開発業者に対する優位性を維持し続けている

The Atlas 960 SuperPoD computing cluster was met with surprise among some technology analysts, partly because it came so soon after the company launched the Atlas 950 SuperPod late last year.

Atlas 960 SuperPoDコンピューティングクラスターは、同社が昨年末にAtlas 950 SuperPodを投入した直後だったこともあり、一部の技術アナリストの間で驚きをもって迎えられた。

Chen remarked, "The fact that Huawei managed to pull off this upgrade in just one year will only heighten America's anxiety that the AI race is accelerating far faster than before."

チェン氏は、「ファーウェイがわずか1年でこのアップグレードを成し遂げたという事実は、以前よりはるかに速くAI競争が加速していることへの米国の不安を高めるだけだろう」と述べた。
