Nvidia Lawyer Intervened in US AI Chip Smuggling Probe

Bloomberg understands Nvidia’s general counsel intervened in a US government probe of suspected smuggling of AI chips by Megaspeed International, questioning whether the Trump administration played a role in detaining an executive from the Singapore-based firm who’s now at the heart of a scandal threatening Jensen Huang. Anthropic is set to kick off the formal marketing of its blockbuster initial public offering as early as Tuesday after an apparent snafu over the filing documents added a dose of last-minute drama to a nervous market. President Donald Trump said further strikes on Iran wouldn’t be necessary but the US remains “locked and loaded,” an indication that he’s winding down the conflict after Republicans’ midterm elections loss underscored its deep unpopularity.

How Nvidia crisis, politics could deliver the pause AI leaders want

A political backlash against AI and data centers — now compounded by a crisis facing the technology's most influential champion — could help force a slowdown that industry leaders have struggled to achieve voluntarily. Why it matters: Tapping the brakes on AI development — which frontier AI developers claim to want but have so far failed to do given the risk of offering an advantage to a competitor — could give society more time to prepare for economic upheaval and the risks of superintelligent systems. A wave of Democratic victories and data center moratoriums are now joined by a potentially weakened Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who admitted to having a relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. Huang, who has led the industry in barreling through past resistance to AI acceleration, may be less able to do so while under a microscope. While both factors could stymie data center expansion in the U.S., it's far from clear that would slow AI's advance. Between the lines: Huang has been a powerful counterweight to calls for AI restraint, dismissing fears of an AI bubble or purported catastrophic risks to humanity from the technology. An investigation — by the board, an ascendant Democratic congress or federal authorities — could curb his ability to make the case for continued expansion, leaving an opening for those calling for more restrictions. Nvidia says Huang will remain CEO and the news won't slow the company, but the potential impact on his political influence is hard to measure. The potential impact extends beyond that as well. Nvidia is both the dominant supplier of AI chips and an investor in companies building AI infrastructure. A crisis that raises questions about its leadership, business practices or financial relationships could ripple through the industry's expansion plans. The intrigue: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk have all warned about the potentially catastrophic risks of advanced AI, with all expressing, at times, the need

AI stocks bounce back — with one notable exception

Data: FactSet; Chart: Matt Phillips/Axios The AI trade has regained momentum despite — or maybe because of — Nvidia's struggles following the weekend revelations from CEO Jensen Huang. The big picture: Monday's sudden burst of exuberance for AI was the latest wide swing for a market upended by last week's "blue tsunami" in the midterm elections and the threat they could pose to the data center boom. By the numbers: The Nasdaq 100 index of large-cap technology shares soared 3.4%, its biggest daily jump since late March and its second-best showing of the year. Zoom in: Stocks romped across the AI ecosystem — well, with one important exception. Pick-and-shovel plays such as engineering and construction companies, and makers of data center inputs like fiberoptic cables, servers and data storage devices soared. The companies that build and lease out data center computing power, known as neoclouds, also jumped. (Those companies had been at the epicenter of recent jitters about financing for the AI boom.) Hyperscalers rose, paced by Meta, which notched a gain of 5.1%. Semiconductors roared, with the SOX index posting its best gain — 6.9% — since late July. Yes, but: The glaring exception to the AI-palooza was its best-known player, Nvidia. Weekend revelations from CEO Jensen Huang — who acknowledged having an affair with a woman suspected of connections to Chinese intelligence — left investors grappling with uncertainty about the CEO's future. The intrigue: Some investors may see Nvidia's pain as potential gain for rivals. Broadcom jumped 8.8%, its best day in nearly a year. Advanced Micro Devices soared 13.3%, benefiting also from an upgrade to "Outperform" — effectively, a "buy" recommendation — from Oppenheimer analysts on Sunday. Context: Bullish commentary from Wall Street established the background music for Monday's big bounce, as analysts urged investors to buy into the market's recent soft patch. "We believe stocks are now clearly in oversold territory," Goldman S
