US restricts Nvidia, DeepSeek to hinder China's AI

The Trump administration is taking action to curb China's AI advancements, targeting Nvidia and DeepSeek. This is due to growing concerns about China's progress in the artificial intelligence sector. Officials are considering restrictions on Nvidia's chip sales to China and potential penalties against DeepSeek, including blocking access to U.S. technology and services. The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has launched an investigation into Nvidia's chip sales. The investigation aims to determine if Nvidia knowingly supplied DeepSeek with technology, potentially violating U.S. rules. This follows a Biden-era rule limiting AI chip exports.
