They share information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Separate reports indicate that the ban\u2019s scope is limited to advanced AI technology. In a conversation with Reuters, Raimondo said that Nvidia \u201ccan, will, and should\u201d sell AI chips to China for commercial use but that the U.S. government aims to prevent sales of the most powerful chips. She said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we cannot allow [Nvidia] to ship the most sophisticated, highest-processing power AI chips, which would enable China to train their frontier models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reports from both sources indicate that Nvidia is willing to cooperate with the U.S. government. Reuters quoted Raimondo, who paraphrased Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as saying: \u201cTell us the rules, we\u2019ll work with you.\u201d Bloomberg obtained a statement directly from Nvidia, which affirmed its cooperation with the U.S. and said it aims to offer \u201ccompliant data center solutions \u2026 worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>U.S. inspection follows earlier restrictions<\/h2>\n<p>The latest news comes after weeks of related developments. On Oct. 13, Reuters reported that the Biden administration planned to reduce foreign access to AI chips. The U.S. Department of Commerce formally announced that it intended to prevent the sale of certain advanced AI chips to China on Oct. 17, and the policy was suddenly enacted around Oct. 24 despite an initially longer deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia, in turn, pivoted to develop several new chips for the Chinese market, seemingly prompting the latest examination. Raimondo said during a conference the week of Dec. 4 that if a company redesigns a chip around a \u201ccutline\u201d intended to restrict the strength of the device, her agency will \u201ccontrol it the very next day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\r\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"totafreearti-20\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\r\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\r\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"bitcoin\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\r\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"false\";\r\namzn_assoc_title = \"\";\r\namzn_assoc_rows =\"1\";\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/u-s-scrutinizing-nvidias-china-bound-ai-chips-to-ensure-compliance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. government is examining three artificial intelligence chips created by Nvidia Corp. for the Chinese market to determine if they violate recently enacted export controls, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo told Bloomberg in a report on Dec. 11.
