"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."
Jensen Huang met separately with President Trump and Republican senators to press for federal policies favorable to the artificial intelligence industry and for controlled exports of Nvidia's advanced AI chips. The meetings aimed to enable limited sales to foreign rivals, including China, while maintaining U.S. technological leadership. Huang expressed support for export controls that protect American firms' advantages, warned that strict restrictions could stall AI progress, and argued that degrading chips sold to China is unacceptable. The administration had previously reversed earlier export limits and pursued arrangements to permit controlled chip sales to China.
