NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang has issued a special message regarding the launch of new AI infrastructure by Firebird in Armenia and Kazakhstan. He emphasized that artificial intelligence is the fastest-spreading technology in history, already transforming sectors such as healthcare, finance, industry, and transportation. According to Huang, AI will soon become a ubiquitous phenomenon, integrated into every device and workflow, evolving into a new type of infrastructure similar to the internet or electricity.
NVIDIA's leader stressed that every country should strive for technological sovereignty. In his view, intelligence cannot simply be imported, as it must be created locally, and relying entirely on outsourcing is not strategically sound. In this regard, he highly commended the decision of Armenia and Kazakhstan to create their own computing power in partnership with Firebird.
Within the framework of the project, plans are in place to deploy NVIDIA AI infrastructure with a total capacity of 250 MW in both countries over the next year. Huang is confident that this will act as a magnet for international companies seeking to launch their systems in the region. He also noted that these "AI factories" will serve as a catalyst for fostering a new generation of local startups, as the necessary computing power will be available locally.
For Armenia's technology sector, this is a major step that extends beyond mere software development. When it comes to 250 MW of computing infrastructure, it means creating the physical capabilities to solve complex scientific and industrial problems, which were previously accessible only to technological superpowers.
It remains to be seen how local companies will adapt to these new opportunities. The existence of infrastructure does not guarantee an economic leap without a clear strategy for its application and the professional resources capable of working with such power. The event suggests that Armenia is attempting to position itself not as a service provider, but as an infrastructure player on the new map of the digital economy.
