🤖 US launches review of advanced Nvidia AI chip sales to China, sources say

US President Donald Trump's administration has launched a review that could result in the first shipments to China of Nvidia's (NVDA) second-most powerful AI chips, five sources said, making good on his pledge to allow the ​controversial sales.

The move drew fire from China hawks across the U.S. political ‌spectrum over concerns the chips would supercharge Beijing's military and erode the U.S. advantage in artificial intelligence. Yahoo Finance reports.
