President Donald Trump\u2019s team just gave China\u2019s rulers<\/a> the technology they need to beat us in the artificial intelligence race. If he doesn\u2019t reverse this decision, it may be remembered as the moment when America surrendered the technological advantage needed to bring manufacturing home and keep our nation secure.<\/p>\n

His advisers, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, persuaded him to lift his ban on exporting Nvidia\u2019s powerful H20 chips to China, which desperately needs these chips to make its AI smarter. The president should have stuck with his gut. <\/p>\n

In exchange, the U.S. government has apparently become a financial beneficiary in AI chip sales to China: Press reports<\/a> indicate that Nvidia and AMD (another chipmaker) have agreed to turn over 15% of their China chip revenues as a condition for obtaining export licenses, an arrangement that effectively monetizes what was supposed to be a national security restriction.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe the claims that these chips aren\u2019t very advanced. Before Trump banned them from export to China in April, H20s were instrumental<\/a> in China\u2019s DeepSeek AI model that shocked the world in January. DeepSeek\u2019s CEO publicly admitted<\/a> that United States \u201cbans on shipments of advanced chips\u201d are his company\u2019s biggest challenge. In May, a senior executive at Chinese tech giant Tencent said he expected the ban on the H20 to \u201cwiden the gap<\/a>\u201d the U.S. enjoys over China in AI.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s lack of unfettered access to U.S.-designed AI chips is America\u2019s clearest advantage in the AI race. By reversing the ban, the White House is helping Beijing\u2019s Communist regime close the gap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump\u2019s team just gave China\u2019s rulers the technology they need to beat us in the artificial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,61],"class_list":["post-68938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
