Nvidia CEO Huang says China's military unlikely to use US AI chips to improve capabilities
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the US government does not need to be concerned that the Chinese military will use his company's products to improve their capabilities. Addressing the largest concern Washington has cited in placing increasing restrictions on US technology exports to the Asian nation, Huang said the Chinese military will avoid using US technology because of the risks associated with doing so. 'We don't have to worry about it,' he said in an interview on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS broadcast on Sunday. 'They simply can't rely on it,' he added. 'It could be, of course, limited at any time.' Huang and his peers have lost out on billions of dollars of revenue under increasingly tough rules designed to shut off China from access to the most powerful artificial intelligence capabilities. Successive administrations in Washington have maintained that unfettered use of the most capable components would pose a risk to national security.

Three years ago, they mostly surveyed the waters close to of Chinese research ships in 2022 But last year, more ships ventured more frequently into the Western Pacific Ocean, including areas of interest to China's of Chinese research ships in 2024 Supported by China has entered a new era of ocean exploration. Its top leader, Xi Jinping, has pushed to make China a maritime power — with a world-class navy, the largest deep-sea fishing fleet, and an interest in extracting minerals from the seabed. He wants China's research abilities to match those ambitions. China's scientific research ships are ranging farther and probing deeper, gathering information that could expand understanding of marine life and the impact of climate change. But their findings could also serve China's naval interests, including how it might deploy its submarines in the Pacific or try to track stealthier American ones. Over time, the growing research fleet could give Beijing a powerful advantage in maritime competition with the United States. 'It is striking to see the rapidity with which China is catching up, at least in terms of scale,' said Bruce Jones, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who is studying China's ocean research effort. China, he added, is 'really making a play for the deep seabed as a kind of strategic space where they can lead.' The Chinese research vessel Xiang Yang Hong 6.
