Arm CEO Rene Haas has joined Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in criticizing U.S. export controls of AI semiconductors to China, a move he says could slow the overall advance of the technology, impacting both consumers and industry players, as reported by Bloomberg.
Speaking at the Founders Forum Global conference in Oxford, Haas said, "If you narrow access to technology and you force other ecosystems to grow up, it’s not good... It makes the pie smaller, if you will. And frankly, it’s not very good for consumers." He also touched on Arm's footprint in China, noting the company's presence is "quite significant."
