šŸ“¦NVIDIA and Anthropic Clash Over Export Controls

NVIDIA has reportedly criticized Anthropic’s support of export controls on U.S.-made advanced AI chips.

Key Details:
  • The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) created the ā€œFramework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion (FAID),ā€ which highlights the importance of export controls on U.S.-made advanced AI chips.

  • Anthropic recently supported FAID, with the belief that maintaining America’s compute advantage through export controls is essential to national security.

  • Anthropic even mentioned that China has established sophisticated smuggling operations to acquire hundreds of millions of dollars worth of U.S.-made advanced AI chips. For example, hiding them in ā€œprosthetic baby bumpsā€ or packaging them ā€œalongside live lobsters.ā€

  • A NVIDIA spokesperson said Anthropic ā€œshould focus on innovation and rise to the challenge, rather than tell tall tales.ā€ They also said, ā€œAmerica can’t manipulate regulations to capture victory in AI.ā€

Why It’s Important:
  • NVIDIA’s stock market value sank nearly 7% after it announced it could take a $5.5 billion hit if it’s unable to sell AI hardware to China. So, NVIDIA’s economically incentivized to disagree with Anthropic.

  • On the other hand, export controls on U.S.-made advanced AI chips hinder China’s AI developments, helping Anthropic maintain a competitive edge. So, Anthropic’s competitively incentivized to support FAID.

Visa just announced ā€œVisa Intelligence Commerce (VIC),ā€ which enables AI Agents to find, compare, and buy products for you.

Key Details:
  • VIC provides three core offerings:

    1. AI-Ready Cards: Generates tokenized digital credentials instead of sharing credit card or debit card details with AI Agents.

    2. AI-Powered Personalization: You can choose whether the AI Agents can autonomously complete transactions or require your consent to make purchases.

    3. Simple and Secure AI Payments: You can set spending limits for specific transactions or within certain timeframes.

  • Visa believes that everyone will have AI Agents to browse, select, purchase, and manage on their behalf.

  • Visa is collaborating with major players in the AI space to deploy VIC, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, and Perplexity AI.

Why It’s Important:
  • OpenAI recently launched a new shopping feature allowing Free, Plus, and Pro users to buy products directly within ChatGPT search.

  • It looks like the next phase of e-commerce is AI-commerce, with AI Agents recommending what products you should purchase.
