US orders Nvidia, AMD not to sell AI chips to China

The US government has ordered graphics chip giant Nvidia and semiconductor manufacturer AMD not to sell their artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China over national security concerns.
In a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nvidia said the Joe Biden administration told the company “about a new license requirement for future exports to China, including Hong Kong, to reduce the risk that the products may be used by the Chinese military”.
US officials told Nvidia that the requirement was due to a potential risk of the products being used by, or diverted to, a “military end user,” CNN reported.
