In August, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan visited Nvidia's headquarters, sparking interest in how his country could utilize its hydropower alongside Nvidia's AI chips for innovative systems. This visit is part of Nvidia's push to attract investment from various nations, promoting the idea of "sovereign AI." Countries have been investing heavily into AI and supercomputers spurred by Nvidia's influence. However, the Biden administration is concerned about the implications of these global sales. New rules may emerge to restrict chip sales to adversarial nations while allowing U.S. allies unrestricted access, potentially stalling Nvidia's ambitious international plans. CEO Jensen Huang’s extensive travel hints at Nvidia's commitment to expanding its AI empire abroad, expecting over $10 billion in foreign sales this year.
