US antitrust regulators scrutinize Nvidia's Hugging Face deal and sales practices

The US Department of Justice is investigating Nvidia's planned $12.93 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, asking whether the purchase could give Nvidia control over a key hub for distributing AI and harm competitors; Nvidia expects the deal to close in the first half of 2027. Regulators are also probing Nvidia's broader acquisitions, investments and sales practices — including past deals involving SchedMD, Run:ai and a licensing arrangement with Groq — while France's competition authority is separately investigating alleged anticompetitive conduct related to CUDA dependence and Nvidia's cloud stakes such as CoreWeave.

US–China experts propose banning AI from autonomously controlling nuclear weapons

Researchers Melanie Sisson (Brookings) and Tianjiao Jiang (Fudan) published proposals urging the US and China to bar AI systems from autonomously launching nuclear weapons, attacking nuclear command systems, or autonomously conducting cyberattacks on strategic infrastructure; they also call for a shared definition of "human control" and Jiang proposes a hotline for AI incidents. The recommendations, issued ahead of a planned Trump–Xi meeting on Sept. 24, build on a November 2024 Biden–Xi understanding but are non‑binding and echo earlier NSCAI concerns about preserving human control.
