U.S. Tightens Controls on AI Chips to Curb China’s AI Advancements

The United States is taking steps to restrict the flow of advanced AI chips from American companies, particularly Nvidia, to China. This action stems from concerns that China is rapidly catching up in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) following the launch of its AI startup DeepSeek. The U.S. aims to prevent China from using these chips for military applications and maintain its position as a leader in the global AI race.
