Senator Elizabeth Warren has invited Jensen Huang to discuss Nvidia's operations in China, particularly in light of concerns that U.S. chips could bolster China's military capabilities. This hearing, scheduled for June 11, comes amid bipartisan efforts to investigate China's influence on U.S. AI and data-center development.
Both the Biden and Trump administrations have sought to limit China's access to advanced AI technology, with Nvidia cautioning that overly restrictive measures could harm U.S. competitiveness.
Warren expressed her apprehension that American companies profit from technology sales that may compromise U.S. security, emphasizing that the chips in question are not solely for civilian use but could also serve military purposes.
The hearing will provide a platform for lawmakers to directly question Huang about Nvidia's strategies and the broader implications of AI technology on the workforce and national security
