Nvidia criticizes reported Biden plan for AI chip export curbs

post-img

Nvidia on Thursday criticized a reported plan by the Joe Biden administration to impose new restrictions on AI chip exports, saying that the outgoing U.S. leader should not “preempt incoming President Trump” by enacting a last-minute policy.

“We would encourage President Biden to not preempt incoming President Trump by enacting a policy that will only harm the U.S. economy, set America back, and play into the hands of U.S. adversaries,” Nvidia Vice President Ned Finkle said in an emailed statement.

 

The Commerce Department’s plan for approving global AI chip exports while also preventing bad actors from accessing them. A key aim of the restrictions is to keep AI from supercharging China’s military capabilities.

New export regulations could be announced soon, adding that a group of U.S. adversaries would effectively get blocked from importing these chips, while the vast majority of the world would face limits on the total computing power that can go to one country.

Nvidia’s Finkle said the reported policy was disguised as an “anti-China move” and warned that the extreme country cap will affect computers around the world and push the world to alternative technologies.

“This last-minute Biden administration policy would be a legacy that will be criticized by U.S. industry and the global community,” Finkle said.

The Information Technology Industry Council, representing companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, has said the rule would place arbitrary constraints on U.S. companies’ ability to sell computing systems overseas and cede the global market to competitors.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, in his first term in office, imposed restrictions on the sale of U.S. technology to China citing national security. Trump’s second term begins on Jan. 20.

Nvidia shares were down more than 1% during extended trading on Thursday.
