Amazon, Microsoft back US gain AI act to restrict chip

Business Nov 14, 2025

Amazon and Microsoft are supporting a new law—the GAIN AI Act—that would curb exports by companies like NVIDIA of advanced AI chips to China.
The goal? Make sure US buyers get first dibs on these powerful processors, as the government worries about China using AI for military growth.

NVIDIA has expressed concerns about the plan

Microsoft is openly backing the move, while Amazon is quietly supporting it through talks with lawmakers.
Meta and Google haven't picked a side yet.
NVIDIA has expressed concerns about the plan, saying it could hurt global competition and make high-powered computing harder to get outside the US.
The bill also has support from Anthropic, an up-and-coming AI startup.
