The Trump administration is reportedly considering restrictions on the Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, which could prevent it from acquiring Nvidia’s AI chips and limit access to its services for Americans. This move is part of a broader strategy to counter China's advancements in AI technology. Following DeepSeek's rise, which has disrupted Silicon Valley pricing, the White House is tightening existing rules on Nvidia sales to China. Concerns over potential intellectual property theft by DeepSeek have also surfaced, particularly allegations from OpenAI regarding model violations.
