Nvidia CEO calls for revised AI export rules to boost global competitiveness

Investing.com -- Jensen Huang, the Chief Executive Officer of Nvidia Corp . (NASDAQ: NVDA ), has urged the Trump administration to revise the regulations governing the export of artificial intelligence (AI) technology from the United States. Huang’s remarks come as he seeks to enhance the global competitiveness of American businesses in the AI sector.

Huang, whose company is a leading provider of AI chips for training artificial intelligence models, including for OpenAI, expressed his views during a CNBC interview. He emphasized the need for the diffusion of American AI technology worldwide and called for supportive policies and encouragement from the administration.

At present, Nvidia is restricted from selling its most advanced products to customers in China. The Biden administration has proposed an additional policy for AI diffusion, which involves limiting the sale of AI technology to countries around the world based on three bands of qualification.

Huang expressed uncertainty over the new diffusion rule, but stressed that it must take into account the significant changes that have occurred globally since the previous rule was implemented.

In addition to his comments on export regulations, Huang also highlighted the growing technological rivalry with China. He noted that China is not lagging behind in AI technology, and specifically mentioned Huawei Technologies Co., a Chinese telecom giant that has ventured into designing its own AI chips. According to Huang, the competition between the US and China in the AI sector is extremely close.
