Trump said on Monday that he might allow Nvidia to sell a more advanced artificial intelligence chip in China based on the chipmaker’s latest and most advanced Blackwell platform. The performance of H20 chips sold to China is restricted compared with those more advanced processors sold to customers in the US.

But now, as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan declared that September, “we must maintain as large of a lead as possible.” On October 7, 2022, the Biden administration announced a sweeping set of export controls designed to cut off China from the most advanced chips used for training powerful AI models,

China wants the United States to ease export controls on chips critical for artificial intelligence as part of a trade deal before a possible summit between Presidents Donald Trump

Documents examined by researchers show how one company in China has collected data on members of Congress and other influential Americans.

Nvidia struck a surprising deal after convincing the president that H20 chips aren’t a national security risk. But whether the reversal is good or bad depends on who you ask.

The attack, dubbed “Salt Typhoon,” constituted a large part of a global campaign against telecoms, and it penetrated systems at many U.S. carriers so thoroughly that officials will almost certainly never know the full scope of the capabilities China achieved to spy on Americans’ communications.

"Chinese leaders may have a lesson for the West’s AI boosters: true speed requires control," writes Brian Tse.

But that’s not the full story. While engineering degrees are critical, they don’t guarantee technological leadership. What really drives innovation is not how many people you train, but how you train them. And here, China faces a deeper, cultural problem that raw output can’t solve.

Top Senate Democrats are urging President Trump to rethink his plan that allows artificial intelligence chip sales to China. In an open letter, they warned that the deal could contradict U.S. national security goals.

China is reportedly using invasive, minimally-invasive and non-invasive brain-computer interface technology as part of its strategy to compete in the global artificial intelligence race.
