US progressives push for Nvidia antitrust investigation

U.S. progressive groups and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed the Department of Justice to investigate Nvidia over competition concerns, citing the company’s dominance of the market for the chips driving the artificial-intelligence boom.

Demand Progress and nine other groups wrote a letter this week urging Department of Justice antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter to probe business practices at Nvidia, whose market value hit $3 trillion this summer on demand for chips able to run the complex models behind generative AI.
