SAN FRANCISCO, May 1 (Reuters) - Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang

discussed concerns with Huawei Technologies Co.'s growing

artificial intelligence capabilities with U.S. lawmakers,

according to a senior congressional committee staff source.

The issues were raised during a closed-door meeting between

Nvidia ( NVDA ) executives and the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign

Affairs Committee. Among the topics discussed were Huawei's

artificial intelligence chips and how restrictions on Nvidia's ( NVDA )

chips in China could make Huawei's chips more competitive.

"If DeepSeek R1 had been trained on (Huawei chips) or a

future open-source Chinese model had been trained to be highly

optimized to Huawei chips, that would risk creating a global

market demand for Huawei chips," the senior staff source said.
