New Delhi, July 15 -- Nvidia on Monday said that the Trump administration has reversed course and approved the sale of its China-specific AI chips, known as the H20. While the company will still require approval from the US government for each shipment, it said in a blog post that the Trump administration has "assured NVIDIA that licenses will be granted".

The move comes just three months after the US government halted Nvidia's AI chip sales to China in a bid to prevent the country from gaining an edge in the artificial intelligence race. According to a New York Times report, US officials were previously concerned that the Chinese military could use Nvidia's AI chips to coordinate attacks and develop advanced weapons.
