Malaysia Eyes Huawei Chips for AI Project Despite US Warning
Malaysia is leaning toward relying on Huawei Technologies Co.’s artificial intelligence chips to power its sovereign AI efforts, in what would be a major victory for Chinese AI technology in the face of strong opposition from President Donald Trump’s administration.
The Southeast Asian nation is seriously evaluating using Huawei’s AI hardware as the backbone of a 2 billion ringgit ($494 million) initiative intended to give the country greater control over national data, according to people familiar with the matter. It’s unclear how many chips Malaysia would buy, the people said, asking not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak publicly.
