Investing.com -- Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s CEO, Jensen Huang, recently had a confidential meeting with the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee to discuss the growing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities of Huawei Technologies Co., as confirmed by a senior congressional committee staff source.

The discussion centered on Huawei’s AI chips and the potential competitive advantage these could gain if restrictions were placed on Nvidia’s chips in China. The Nvidia executives and U.S. lawmakers also explored the implications of AI models being optimized for Huawei chips.

The senior staff source highlighted a particular concern, "If DeepSeek R1 had been trained on (Huawei chips) or a future open-source Chinese model had been trained to be highly optimized to Huawei chips, that would risk creating a global market demand for Huawei chips." This statement underscores the potential global market implications should AI models be developed to favor Huawei’s chips.
