Nvidia While CEO Jensen Huang tried to walk on a rope between Washington and Beijing, he underestimated the fear that his company’s chips would help the Chinese army.
One report When CNN was released on Sunday, Huang only cannot trust it because we don’t have to worry about China’s army using the US -made technology. ” “He said.
Huang said, “It can always be limited; it should not be mentioned, there is already plenty of information processing capacity in China.” He said. “To build his troops, they certainly don’t need Nvidia’s chips or piles of American technology.”
Comments referred to the two -sided US policy that lasted for years, which have restricted limitations to semiconductor companies and prohibit them to sell the most advanced artificial intelligence chips to customers in China.
Huang also repeated the past criticism of policies, arguing that the tactic of export controls is productive against the ultimate goal of US technology leadership.
“We want the American technology pile to be a global standard … In order to do this, we have to investigate all AI developers in the world.”
This means that America is AI leader, and that US technology should be available for all markets, including China.
Washington’s latest restrictions on Nvidia’s sales to China were implemented in April and are expected to result in billions of losses for the company. In May, Huang said that CHIP restrictions are almost halved by Nvidia’s Chinese market share.
Huang’s CNN interview came to the country this year just a few days before going to China for a second trip and NVIDIA reportedly worked on someone else Suitable for the latest export controls.
Last week, NVIDIA CEO met with US President Donald Trump and warned by US deputies not to meet China’s military or intelligence bodies, or with the aforementioned assets in the US’s limited export list.
According to Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum Group, the technology consulting firm, Huang’s CNN interview exemplifies how Huang had a needle between Washington and Beijing while trying to maintain maximum market access.
“He needs to walk on a famous rope to ensure that he’s not ringing the Trump administration,” said Newman, when China provides a better climate to do so, and when he wants to be in a position to invest in Nvidia technology.
However, this does not mean that Washington’s disdain of Washington’s concerns according to Newman. “I think it is difficult to fully accept the idea that China cannot use Nvidia’s most advanced technologies for military use.”
Authorized, Nvidia’s technology, including the development of developed weapons, including the use of any country at the center of AI education, he added.
A US official He told Reuters last month China’s big language model, Nvidia chips to train models, saying that Deepseek’in China’s military and intelligence operations supported, he said.
On Sunday, Huang acknowledged that Deepseek had concerns that the open -source R1 reasoning model was trained in China, but there was no evidence that it only offers dangers.
Huang described the R1 reasoning model as a “revolutionary” and said that its open -source nature strengthens the initial companies, new industries and countries to participate in AI.
“The truth of the subject, [China and the U.S.] Competitors, but we are quite interdependent, and to the extent that we can compete and both want to win, it is good to respect our competitors. ”
