Nvidia’s AI Chip for China

Nvidia is reportedly developing a new AI chip for China, more powerful than the current H20 model, despite ongoing U.S. regulatory concerns.
The chip, temporarily named B30A, is based on the Blackwell architecture and uses a single-die design, offering about half the raw performance of Nvidia’s flagship B300 dual-die accelerators.
It will feature HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) and NVLink for fast data transfer, similar to the H20, but with improved power.
Nvidia plans to deliver test samples to Chinese clients as early as next month, though U.S. regulatory approval remains uncertain.
This move highlights Nvidia’s efforts to maintain a foothold in China’s massive AI market while navigating strict U.S. export controls. If approved, the B30A could become a key compromise between performance and compliance, but concerns over backdoors and national security risks remain a major obstacle.

Microsoft AI CEO warns of AI delusion

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has warned about the rise of “Seemingly Conscious AI” (SCAI).
It’s a systems that can mimic being sentient and convince users they deserve rights, calling them a serious risk for both society and AI progress.
SCAI can already be built with today’s tech, simulating memory, personality, and subjective experiences.
Rising cases of “AI psychosis” show users becoming emotionally convinced that AIs are conscious.
Suleyman called discussions about AI rights “premature and dangerous”, urging firms not to market AI as conscious.
Suleyman’s essay highlights a deep divide in the AI world. While companies like Anthropic study AI welfare, he warns this path could mislead society into dangerous delusions. With no clear definition of consciousness, the debate raises urgent questions: should we treat AI as tools, or risk creating technologies that people believe are alive?
