☆ Nvidia names Huawei a top competitor in major areas including AI chips
  + stars: | 2024-02-23 | by ( Laura He | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Hong Kong CNN —Nvidia has named Huawei a top competitor in a number of areas, including in the crucial production of processors that power artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Other companies also listed as its rivals in some areas include AMD, Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT) and Broadcom (AVGO). In October 2022, the Biden administration imposed sweeping curbs designed to curtail China’s access to advanced computing chips. In July, it imposed export controls on two strategic raw materials, gallium and germanium, that are critical to the global chipmaking industry. Data centers, which includes the graphics cards that are widely use in generative AI, are Nvidia’s biggest source of revenue.

CNN —The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said late Wednesday that negotiations with SAG-AFTRA — the union representing about 160,000 actors — have been suspended. The suspension came after the actors’ union presented its latest proposal to the AMPTP, according to the statement. SAG-AFTRA presented few, if any, moves on the numerous remaining open items.”In this round of negotiations, AMPTP said it had made a list of offers to the union that included a “first-of-its-kind success-based residual for High-Budget SVOD productions” and several AI protections. SAG-AFTRA has been on strike since July 14, joining the fray a little more than two months after the writers’ strike began. The writers’ strike ended in late September, and members of the Writers Guild of America ratified a new contract with Hollywood and television studios on October 9.

A court temporarily blocked the FDA ban, so the products are still for sale in the United States.
