Senator Elizabeth Warren, a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee, has expressed serious concerns regarding Nvidia's compliance with US export laws, particularly in relation to allegations of its advanced AI chips being diverted to China. In a letter to Nvidia's executives, Warren referenced multiple criminal cases from the US Department of Justice, which allege that over $510 million worth of Nvidia technology was unlawfully exported to China via Malaysia and Thailand. These allegations challenge Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's previous claims that there was 'no evidence' of such diversions and that the company's market share in China had diminished significantly. Warren's inquiries focus on the oversight provided by Nvidia's board of directors and whether the company has conducted adequate compliance reviews following these indictments. She underscored the importance of companies adhering to federal regulations that prohibit unlicensed exports to embargoed countries, urging Nvidia to investigate potential misuse of its products. Responses to her queries are expected by June 18.
