China Bans Nvidia Chips in Data Centers, Boosting Domestic AI

Chinese regulators block ByteDance from using Nvidia chips, signaling a shift in strategy for TikToks parent company. This move aligns with Beijings efforts to reduce dependence on American technology amid tightening U.S. restrictions on semiconductor exports. Chinese officials have been encouraging local firms to use domestically made AI chips, with the government issuing guidance for new data center projects to use only local AI chips. This push is part of Chinas broader plan to build its own AI ecosystem and achieve self-sufficiency in chip production.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
