<h1>CEO says Chinese AI chip export limits harm innovation, will raise with US president and unveils UK data-centre deal</h1> The company CEO said he is disappointed by recent Chinese restrictions on exports of advanced AI chips and expects to raise the issue with the US president at a state banquet. The firm faces US export curbs on its most advanced processors and a Beijing antitrust probe tied to a 2020 acquisition; Chinese regulators reportedly are also prohibiting domestic firms from buying a locally tailored chip model. The CEO said the company will remain supportive of both governments as geopolitical policies are worked out, and announced new investments including a large UK data-centre chip supply deal tied to an AI infrastructure project.
