Anthropic CEO Compares U.S. Approval of Nvidia Chip Sales to China to 'Selling Nuclear Weapons to North Korea'

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei slams U.S. approval of Nvidia H200 chip sales to China as equivalent to 'selling nuclear weapons to North Korea,' warning that exporting advanced AI technology could create '100 million people smarter than Nobel Prize winners' under foreign control, despite Nvidia being a major Anthropic partner and investor.

• Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei harshly criticizes the U.S. administration's decision to approve sales of Nvidia H200 chips to Chinese customers, comparing it to 'selling nuclear weapons to North Korea'
• Amodei warns that exporting high-performance AI chips to China poses major national security risks, describing future AI as potentially creating '100 million people smarter than any Nobel Prize winner' under foreign control
• The criticism creates tension since Nvidia is both a major partner powering Anthropic's AI models and recently announced a $10 billion investment in the company
