Anthropic CEO Calls US Approval of AI Chip Sales to China 'Crazy'
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei likens Nvidia chip sales to China to nuclear weapons transfers, citing risks of accelerating Beijing’s AI and military capabilities beyond safe limits.
- At Davos, Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO, criticized the US decision to let Nvidia sell H200 chips to China, calling it a mistake with national-security risks likened to giving `nuclear weapons` to an adversary.
- President Donald Trump recently authorized Nvidia to sell H200 accelerators to approved customers in China, with the US administration collecting a 25% fee on revenues after lifting the embargo.
- Nvidia had planned for more than 1 million orders from China, while analysts estimated lost sales during the embargo could total $15 billion in annual revenue.
- Shipments hit a snag last week when Chinese customs officials blocked deliveries of newly approved H200 units, and Chinese government officials warned domestic tech company bosses against unnecessary purchases.
- Looking to the broader debate, Anthropic pushes for stricter AI-export controls, contrasting with AMD and Nvidia's warnings that cutting China risks technological decoupling, while the US semiconductor industry leads advances.
