英伟达正在加大对欧洲人工智能领域的投资，宣布计划支持四家德国初创企业，因为该国正致力于巩固其在工业人工智能领域的地位。
Nvidia is increasing its investments in Europe's artificial intelligence sector, unveiling plans to back four German startups as the country pushes to strengthen its position in industrial AI.
这些投资是美国芯片制造商近100亿美元承诺的一部分，旨在投资欧洲的公司、大学和研究机构，该承诺于周一在柏林的“投资德国”峰会上宣布。
The investments are part of the U.S. chipmaker's nearly $10 billion commitment to invest in companies, universities and research institutions across Europe, as announced at the Invest in Germany Summit in Berlin on Monday.
这四家初创企业分别是Agile Robots、Avelios Medical、Mirelo和Reflex Aerospace。然而，英伟达未披露计划投资的具体规模。
The four startups are Agile Robots, Avelios Medical, Mirelo and Reflex Aerospace. However, Nvidia did not disclose the size of the planned investments.
Agile Robots开发用于制造、物流和医疗保健的AI驱动机器人，而Avelios Medical则构建AI驱动的医院管理软件。Mirelo开发用于生成视频音频的AI模型，而Reflex Aerospace则设计和制造卫星。
Agile Robots develops AI-powered robots for manufacturing, logistics and healthcare, while Avelios Medical builds AI-powered hospital management software. Mirelo develops AI models that generate audio for videos, while Reflex Aerospace designs and builds satellites.
此次宣布正值德国寻求加速人工智能在工业领域的应用之际。德国总理弗里德里希·默茨表示，该国旨在成为将人工智能融入关键领域的领导者。
The announcement comes as Germany seeks to accelerate AI adoption across its industrial sector, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz saying the country aims to become a leader in integrating AI into key sectors.
默茨将这项技术描述为该国经济的重大机遇，并点名制造业、机械和汽车工业作为人工智能融入的重点方向。他还呼吁德国的中小企业充分利用其已有的数据。
Merz, who described the technology as a major opportunity for the country's economy, named manufacturing, machinery and the automotive industry for integrating AI. He also urged Germany's small- and medium-sized businesses to capitalize on the data they already hold.
“请打开大门，让人工智能利用你们的数据，”默茨说。“这是德国的一项真正的秘密和真正的优势——利用我们公司中已有的所有数据。”英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋在强调德国在制造、数学和科学方面的专长时，呼应了默茨的言论，表示人工智能将增强而非取代该国的工业能力。
"Please open your doors for AI to make use of your data," Merz said. "This is a real secret and a real advantage for Germany to make use of all the data which is already available in our companies." Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang echoed Merz's remarks while highlighting Germany's expertise in manufacturing, mathematics and science, saying that AI would strengthen rather than replace the country's industrial capabilities.
“人工智能只能增强你们的能力，而不会取代你们的能力，”黄仁勋说，并将这项技术描述为企业的一种新工具。
"AI can only augment your capability, it will not replace your capability," Huang said, describing the technology as a new instrument for businesses.
英伟达还在扩大与德国联邦政府及其“工业4.0平台”的合作，汇聚政府、工业、科研和贸易协会的代表，以加速工业AI的采用。周一，政府与英伟达签署了一份联合意向声明，以推进工业应用的人工智能模型。
Nvidia is also expanding its collaboration with the German federal government and its "Industry 4.0 Platform," bringing together representatives from government, industry, research and trade associations, to accelerate the adoption of industrial AI. On Monday, the government signed a joint declaration of intent with Nvidia to advance AI models for industrial applications.
当天早些时候，西门子也在德国埃尔朗根的工厂宣布，与英伟达共同开发了新的人工智能解决方案。西门子表示，这些技术可将准备生产所需的工程工作量降低多达85%，而由人工智能驱动的生产规划可将成本降低多达20%。
Earlier in the day, Siemens had also announced new AI solutions developed with Nvidia at its factory in Erlangen, Germany. Siemens said the technologies could reduce engineering work involved in preparing production by up to 85%, while AI-powered production planning could cut costs by as much as 20%.
上周，黄仁勋还访问了法国，在那里他宣布对四家法国初创公司进行投资，并与法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙会面，讨论人工智能发展。英伟达首席执行官计划于周三在柏林发表主题演讲。
Huang had also visited France last week, where he announced investments in four French startups and met with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss AI development. The Nvidia boss is scheduled to deliver a keynote address in Berlin on Wednesday.
