Senior congressional committee staff source, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spoke with U.S. senators about his worries over Huawei Technologies Co.’s expanding artificial intelligence capabilities.
Nvidia executives and the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee discussed the concerns in a closed-door meeting on Thursday. The artificial intelligence processors from Huawei and the potential for Huawei’s chips to become more competitive due to Chinese limitations on Nvidia’s chips were among the subjects covered.
“If DeepSeek R1 had been trained on (Huawei chips) or a future open-source Chinese model had been trained to be highly optimized to Huawei chips, that would risk creating a global market demand for Huawei chips,” the senior staff source said.
In a statement, Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo said “Jensen met with the House Foreign Affairs Committee to discuss the strategic importance of AI as national infrastructure and the need to invest in U.S. manufacturing. He reaffirmed Nvidia’s full support for the government’s efforts to promote American technology and interests around the world.”
Since President Donald Trump’s first administration, Nvidia’s chips—which are essential for creating chatbots, image generators, and other AI systems—have been the focus of U.S. export restrictions. In response, Nvidia has created processors for the Chinese market that adhere to the evolving regulations.
However, the firm announced last month that the Trump administration had requested that it cease selling the H20 chip, its most recent offering from China.
Low-cost AI models like those from DeepSeek have been driving up purchases for those chips from Chinese consumers.
According to a Media report from last month, Huawei has filled the void left by Nvidia in China by getting ready to ship large quantities of a processor that will rival Nvidia’s products.
