NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang praised US President Donald Trump for removing a ban on the sale of sophisticated artificial intelligence cards to specific nations. At a press event at Taiwan’s Computex technology fair, he described the Artificial propagation law as a “failure,” according to Reuters.
The concept was intended to stay sophisticated chips out of China’s arms, and it was scheduled to take effect on May 15. Former US President Joe Biden’s leadership designed the law. There were three levels to which all world countries were subdivided:
- A list of allies that have no limits.
- A list of enemies who are not permitted.
- A second tier offered only minimal quantities of cutting-edge US bits.

However, the Trump administration   repealed the AI propagation rule on May 13. Huang argued at the push conference that AI export controls may prove ineffective in preventing its advancement because the” competition in China is actually intense” and does not rely exclusively on American technology.
In reality, he claimed that China “would love for us never to go up” because the US would reduce itself as a business rival by removing itself from the picture. According to Reuters,” President Trump realizes it’s exactly the wrong goal,” he said.
NVIDIA’s business would suffer if the AI dispersion principle were to be implemented.
Huang argued that the AI propagation law would benefit China by giving them an advantage in the Artificial race, but he also had a vested interest because it immediately threatens NVIDIA’s company in a crucial industry. He claimed at the press conference that due to various export controls they imposed, their share of the Chinese market has dropped from 95 % to 50 % since the start of Biden’s administration.
Since 2022, NVIDIA has been designing cards to keep its operations in the country afloat by avoiding these controls. The US  just restricted income of some superior cards, including NVIDIA’s H20, to China  without a license, but it is now working on a Blackwell AI device that will fit the bill, according to Reuters.

The elimination of the AI propagation concept will even open up new opportunities for NVIDIA to expand its operations outside of China. It made it possible for the US intel to promote 18, 000 of its most cutting-edge AI chips to Saudi Arabia, and Amazon, AMD, and other companies have even signed talks with the nation since then. Relationships between Saudi Arabia and the US software industry have historically been strained because of concerns that chips moved between the two nations might leak to China.
NVIDIA has long criticized the AI dispersion policy, but Anthropic backs it.
NVIDIA called the AI propagation law misguided in January, a statement Microsoft echoed in the same month. But, Anthropic, an AI startup supported by billion from Amazon, endorsed the trade restrictions and even requested that they be extended. AI may be developed in “alignment with American ideals and pursuits,” as opposed to China’s, it was claimed in a , blog post.
In a rare public censure, NVIDIA addressed Anthropic in a statement telling CNBC that” American businesses may focus on innovation and rise to the challenge.” Additionally, they charged Anthropic of pushing policies to stifle competition rather than to establish management through technology.
The US is steadfast in its efforts to stop China’s Artificial growth.
Worries about China persist despite the removal of the AI propagation law.
Following the announcement, the federal government instructed businesses to refrain from using Huawei’s Ascend AI bits and warned against “allowing U.S. AI cards to be used for education and assumption of Chinese AI types.” It also planned to publish guidance for US companies on how to “protect supply chains against escape tactics.”
These measures were deemed “discriminatory,” according to a statement from China’s Ministry of Commerce, and the US was urged to “immediately proper its bad practices.” The US is considering replacing the AI propagation law with a global licensing plan based on government-to-government contracts, Reuters reports, in an effort to improve its standing in business conversations.
