Nvidia was falling early Friday as politicians and Big Tech firms comment on the effects of Chinese firm DeepSeek’s apparently low-cost AI.

Two U.S. Congress members are calling on President Donald Trump's administration to consider restricting the export of artificial intelligence chips made by Nvidia, alleging Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has relied on them.

DeepSeek, the new player on the scene, is a Chinese company that has been making huge waves in AI development. Its powerful technology could change things such as healthcare, finance – and even the way we interact with the internet. Investors are excited because they see DeepSeek as a potential leader in shaping the next generation of AI tools.

Nvidia’s AI leadership remains intact, despite DeepSeek concerns. Read why NVDA stock’s steep drop represents a great opportunity for long-term investors.
