The U.S. Department of Commerce has reversed the AI chip export control regulations put in place by the Biden administration, albeit with tightened restrictions on specific chip types. Notably, the global use of Huawei's Ascend chips is now deemed a violation of U.S. export controls. Furthermore, the U.S. government has issued a public warning against the utilization of American AI chips for training and inferring Chinese AI models. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's trip to Saudi Arabia alongside President Trump to secure AI investments has been interpreted as a significant indicator of NVIDIA's successful lobbying efforts with the Trump administration.
