US Senate Proposes Bill to Block Nvidia’s AI Chip Exports to China
The US Senate introduced a bipartisan bill aimed at halting Nvidia's exports of advanced AI chips to China for 30 months. The proposed Secure and Feasible Exports Chips Act WOULD deny export licenses for Nvidia's H200 and Blackwell processors, critical for AI development and data-center infrastructure. Lawmakers argue the move is necessary to maintain US dominance in AI and high-performance computing.
Led by Senators Pete Ricketts and Chris Coons, the bill reflects growing concerns over China's access to cutting-edge technology. The legislation directly targets chips powering large-scale AI models, seen as strategic assets in the US-China tech rivalry. This comes as the White House reviews existing export policies under the TRUMP administration.
