Summary
Jensen Huang is in Washington to meet Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill, with a Tuesday session scheduled with Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Nvidia said Huang will press the case for U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence, including support for open-source models, while spotlighting the company’s pledge to build up to $500 billion of AI infrastructure in the United States.
Warner’s meeting comes days after he raised alarms about security threats following last week’s OpenAI autonomous cyberattack, putting AI safety and national-security concerns at the center of the talks.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is also expected to meet Warner separately during a Washington swing, underscoring how chipmakers and model developers are both stepping up lobbying as AI policy scrutiny intensifies.
