A group of national security policy advisers is calling for a reversal of the U.S. government’s recent decision to allow Nvidia to resume sales of an artificial intelligence (AI) chip to China.

In a July 28 letter addressed to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the group of experts and former officials urged the department to keep the export control on the H20 general processing units in place.
