CBP tech snag delays Trump tariff refunds; 45-day upgrade planned

US Customs and Border Protection says its automated processing system can’t handle the scale of refunds from Trump-era tariffs, delaying billions in rebates even as courts order refunds with interest. The agency notes about $166 billion in IEEPA duties have been collected and that processing the 53.2 million entries would take more than 4.4 million hours with the current ACE system, but it plans a streamlined, importer‑focused system that could be up and running in about 45 days with new filing guidance, amid ongoing lawsuits from Nintendo, FedEx, Costco and others.

CBP eyes tech upgrade to restart refunds on Trump-era tariffs

CBP told a federal court it cannot immediately refund reciprocal tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act after the Supreme Court ruled them illegal, citing limitations in its current technology and processes. The agency plans to roll out new functionality in its Automated Commercial Environment within about 45 days to handle refunds on an importer basis (rather than 54 million separate refunds), potentially starting by late April. The move affects roughly $166 billion in duties collected, with hundreds of thousands of importers and millions of entries involved, and follows Judge Eaton’s order to calculate costs and issue refunds.

Nvidia's AI Innovations Propel Company to New Heights.

Nvidia's new AI-based solution for game developers called Nvidia Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) uses natural language models to add greater realism to in-game characters, making dialogue more dynamic and less scripted. ACE is built inside of Nvidia's Omniverse development platform and could impact the revenue growth of Nvidia's professional visualization segment. Nvidia already has a massive lead over AMD in the discrete GPU market and estimated 80% share of the AI chip market. While Nvidia's stock is expensive, a near-term recovery in graphics-related revenue is a catalyst for accelerating revenue growth on top of the strong demand coming for AI chips.

The AI is capable of generating dialogue, voice, and animation in real-time, making it possible for smaller teams or even individuals to create complex games. While this is great news for game studios and players, it will result in job losses for many in the industry.

Nvidia's ACE technology enables lifelike conversations with AI game characters.

Nvidia showcased a demo at Computex 2023 in Taipei, featuring a cyberpunk ramen shop where players can talk to the proprietor using their own voice. The demo was built using Nvidia's ACE middleware, which includes NeMo tools for deploying large language models and Riva speech-to-text and text-to-speech. While the generative AI reacts to natural speech, the dialogue leaves much to be desired. The ACE toolkit can scale to more than one character at a time and could theoretically even let NPCs talk to each other.
