Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has pushed back against growing calls in the US to fully block the export of advanced AI chips to China, calling the idea “completely ridiculous.” He warned that a total ban would likely have unintended consequences, including accelerating China’s push to build its own independent tech ecosystem. According to Huang, such restrictions could ultimately weaken US influence in the global AI race rather than strengthen it.
The Nvidia chief also criticized the broader mindset behind the proposal, arguing that American companies should not retreat from international markets simply due to competitive pressure.
