regulatory agencies in European Union We have been studying potential market risks from technology companies’ business practices for some time. With the arrival of the boom artificial intelligence technology As space and enforcement of new laws increase, so does scrutiny Nvidia Becoming the latest company to be warned by European regulators.
According to Bloomberg, Margaret VestagerThe European Union’s competition commissioner has warned that the supply of much-needed artificial intelligence chips for Nvidia is a “major bottleneck,” but regulators have yet to decide whether or what action to take.
“We’ve been asking them questions, but it’s just preliminary,” she said during a recent trip to Singapore. So far, this does not “qualify for regulatory action.”
Vestager said that despite supply constraints, a secondary market for AI chip supply may help stimulate innovation and fair competition, while mentioning that dominant companies may face certain behavioral restrictions in the future.
“If you have this kind of dominance in the market, there are things that smaller companies can do that you can’t,” she said.
“But other than that, as long as you do what you’re supposed to do and respect it, there’s no problem,” she added.

AI chip demand drives Nvidia’s growth
Nvidia has been arguably the biggest beneficiary of the boom in artificial intelligence spending, drawing the attention of regulators. Its GPUs are favored by data center operators, including GoogleMicrosoft, Meta and others’ ability to handle the vast amounts of data needed to train AI models.
Bloomberg said that Nvidia H100 processor The company is estimated to hold more than 80% of the market, surpassing rivals such as Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
