Alibaba announces partnership with Nvidia despite Beijing’s bans — Chinese e-commerce giant is prioritizing AI with plans for global expansion

Our strategic expansion of global infrastructure is designed to cater for the accelerating demand from forward-thinking customers.” But despite all these plans, the company did not mention whether it will use Nvidia’s AI chips for these projects.
