"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met separately with President Donald Trump and Republican senators Wednesday as tech executives work to secure favorable federal policies for the artificial intelligence industry, including the limited sale of Nvidia's highly valued computer chips to U.S. rivals like China. Huang's closed-door meeting with Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee came at a moment of intensifying lobbying, soaring investments, and audacious forecasts by major tech companies about AI's potential transformative effects."
"Huang is among the Silicon Valley executives who warn that any restrictions on the technology will halt its advancement despite mounting concerns among policymakers and the public about AI 's potential pitfalls or the ways foreign rivals like China may use American hardware. "I've said repeatedly that we support export control, that we should ensure that American companies have the best and the most and first," Huang told reporters before his meeting on Capitol Hill."

He argued that degraded chips would be unacceptable to Chinese buyers and urged offering competitive chips.
