Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he was surprised by Beijing\u2019s questioning of the security of its H20 artificial intelligence chips and that it would be up to the US government to decide whether the company can produce a new product for the Chinese market.<\/p>\n

Huang made the comments during a visit to Taiwan on Friday, where he had meetings scheduled with top executives from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the silicon foundry that makes Nvidia\u2019s chips.<\/p>\n

Separately, US tech media outlet The Information reported that Nvidia had instructed component suppliers, including Samsung Electronics and Amkor Technology, to stop production related to the H20<\/a> after Beijing\u2019s move to dissuade Chinese companies from buying the chips.<\/p>\n

Huang said Nvidia was \u201csurprised\u201d by the doubts from China about the H20 as \u201cthey\u2019ve requested and urged us to secure licenses for the H20 for some time and I\u2019ve worked quite hard to help them secure the licences\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Chinese concerns about the security of the H20 chips, which were tailored-made for the Chinese market to comply with Washington\u2019s export restrictions, were partly based on proposals by some US lawmakers that AI chips exported to China should have tracking features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he was surprised by Beijing\u2019s questioning of the security of its H20 artificial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,2095,65517,254,255,64,63,3686,512,65519,65515,28300,7028,7030,65516,2291,45650,11069,105,65518],"class_list":["post-87767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-america","tag-amkor-technology","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-beijing","tag-china","tag-chinese-market","tag-cyberspace-administration-of-china","tag-deepseek","tag-h20","tag-jensen-huang","tag-martin-lau","tag-nvidia","tag-samsung-electronics","tag-taiwan","tag-technology","tag-tsmc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
