Chinese AI firms rush to secure Nvidia chip capacity as spy scandal stirs fear of US curbs: Reuters
Chinese firms are reserving overseas Nvidia capacity as traders stockpile restricted chips, reflecting fears that U.S. rules could tighten access to cloud computing.
- On Thursday, U.S. lawmakers intensified efforts to pass legislation restricting China's access to advanced artificial intelligence chips following Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation.
- Reports of an affair between Huang and an executive suspected of spying for Beijing prompted bipartisan calls for stricter export controls to protect national security.
- Proposed legislation including the AI Overwatch Act, Chip Security Act, and Match Act would give Congress 30 days to review proposed chip exports to restricted countries.
- Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning accused Washington of using 'espionage allegations' to justify technology blockades, while Nvidia warned the measure could have 'a material impact on our business.'
- The Commerce Department will soon close a remote-access loophole used by Chinese firms, with trade suspensions involving Beijing remaining effective through January 10, 2027.
