How Nvidia’s Jensen Huang Persuaded Trump to Sell A.I. Chips to China
The article discusses how Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, persuaded the Trump administration to allow the sale of AI chips to China. Huang worked with a Silicon Valley investor who had become an insider in the White House to reverse the administration's previous restrictions on such exports. The article highlights Huang's efforts to convince the government that the technology was not being used for military purposes, but rather for commercial and civilian applications. Nvidia's chips are in high demand for AI and machine learning applications, and the company argued that blocking sales to China would put American companies at a competitive disadvantage. Despite initial concerns from the administration, Huang's lobbying efforts and the support of the White House insider ultimately led to the reversal of the export restrictions, allowing Nvidia to continue selling its AI chips to Chinese customers.
