Two months after Deepseek, China’s artificial intelligence starShake Washington and rocked Wall Street, US officials take action to suppress the Chinese start-up and support from the first American flea manufacturer, NVIDIA.
The Trump administration has moved this week restrict the sale of ia chips by nvidia to China. It also weighs penalties that would prevent Deepseek from buying American technology and debating Americans’ access to its services, three people with actions that spoke of anonymity said.
Congress leaders also exert pressure on Nvidia. On Wednesday, the selective committee of the Chinese Communist Party Chamber, which focuses on the national security threats of China, opened an investigation into the sale of fleas by Nvidia through Asia. He tries to assess if the manufacturer of American fleas knowingly provided Deepseek a critical technology to develop AI, potentially in violation of American rules.
This is the first survey of the Congress on the affairs of Nvidia. It comes when the Trump administration is struggling with the way of realizing A rule of the Biden era which limits the number of fleas ai that companies can send to different countries.
The attacks on Deepseek and Nvidia are an outgrowth of fear in Washington that China could jump the United States, which would have vast implications for national security and geopolitics. If China took the lead, it could use AI systems more quickly to design new generation weapons such as missiles and autonomous drones. It could also persuade other countries to use its technology for their network of AI systems and infrastructure, weakening the influence of the United States around the world.
