Nvidia's flattery of Trump wins reversal of AI chip limits and a Huawei clampdown
Briefly

Nvidia has succeeded in influencing US policy, as evidenced by the recent lifting of export limits on US-made AI chips. The Department of Commerce rescinded the AI Diffusion Rule, which aimed to restrict exports and could have endangered Nvidia's market share. This decision came alongside Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's meeting with President Trump, focusing on soliciting AI investments. Despite its initial intent to prevent adversarial nations from accessing AI technology, the rule was criticized for potentially harming American innovation and diplomatic relations. Future regulations for protecting US AI technology are pending clarification from the DOC.
