Scandal between Nvidia and Anthropic exposes the struggle for control of the AI market

And here we have the chip maker Nvidia and artificial intelligence systems developer Anthropic entering into an open confrontation. It all started when Anthropic published material about smuggling advanced artificial intelligence chips to China. Bypassing American restrictions. The company claims that quite unusual methods are being used for this. According to their data, high-tech components are hidden in artificial bellies imitating pregnancy. As well as being disguised among shipments of live lobsters. Can you picture the scene?

To support their words, Anthropic provides specific examples. This is the arrest of a certain woman while attempting to transport chips to China. As well as the seizure of a batch of computer components hidden among seafood in Hong Kong. Anthropic states that strict export control is critical for the national security and economic prosperity of the United States. And they call for tightening restrictions on the export of artificial intelligence technologies.

In response, Nvidia accused Anthropic of unfair competition and attempts to manipulate regulators. In their opinion, American companies should focus on innovation and accept the technological challenge. And not spread, I quote, tales about smuggling heavy and sensitive electronics. Can you feel the heat of the passions?

Sources close to Nvidia’s leadership claim that behind Anthropic’s public accusations lies the desire to limit competitors’ access to computing power. Necessary for the development of artificial intelligence. And Nvidia emphasizes that 1/2 of the world’s artificial intelligence researchers work in China. Therefore, America cannot manipulate regulators to win this technological race.

Interesting fact. 2 weeks before this conflict, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with Chinese trade representatives. In his speech in Washington, he unexpectedly stated that China is not lagging behind the US in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly noting the achievements of Huawei in computing and network technologies. Did they remember the insult to all things American?
