Jensen Huang, the chipmaker\u2019s chief executive, is trying to balance his company\u2019s interests as the United States and China compete for supremacy in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Nvidia is celebrating its renewed ability to sell certain artificial intelligence computer chips in China, after the Trump administration this week lifted key restrictions.<\/p>\n

But Jensen Huang isn\u2019t about to take any credit for the change.<\/p>\n

The chief executive of the Silicon Valley chip giant used a 95-minute press briefing on Wednesday in Beijing to play down his role in persuading President Trump to allow chip sales to China. He distanced himself, too, from China\u2019s latest export controls, suggesting even the restrictions on a rare earth metal used in chips wouldn\u2019t affect the company.<\/p>\n

Mr. Huang has met with senior officials in Washington and Beijing in the past few days, including Mr. Trump, to promote artificial intelligence and his company\u2019s central role in the industry. Many of the world\u2019s most advanced A.I. systems are powered by calculations done on Nvidia\u2019s chips. Last week, the company became the first public firm to reach $4 trillion in market value<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I changed his mind,\u201d Mr. Huang said of Mr. Trump. \u201cIt\u2019s my job to inform the president about what I know very well, which is the technology industry, artificial intelligence, the developments of A.I. around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Huang\u2019s apparent modesty underscores the balancing act he must play between the world\u2019s two largest economies as they compete for primacy over artificial intelligence. Three presidential administrations in Washington have tried to hold back China\u2019s A.I. capabilities by cutting off the flow of advanced chips, including by restricting Nvidia\u2019s sales to Chinese companies.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Beijing has emphasized self-reliance in the A.I. industry, as it has for electric vehicles and solar panels. Government ministries have pushed Chinese companies to make everything they need for A.I. on their own. With Beijing\u2019s backing, Chinese companies like the telecommunications giant Huawei have been racing to develop alternatives to Nvidia\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n
