Sen. Elizabeth Warren, ranking member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, issued a statement pressing NVIDIA executives and its board for answers on compliance with U.S. export controls. She argued that CEO Jensen Huang’s decision to resign did not absolve him, other executives or the company of responsibility for alleged national security risks or potential legal violations.
Warren urged Congress to pass the AI Overwatch Act and other bipartisan bills to prevent advanced U.S. artificial intelligence technology from reaching China. She also called on Secretary Howard Lutnick and Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler to explain why export control loopholes remained open and take immediate action to prevent U.S. technology from supporting China’s military.
