US Limits Exports of AI Chips in Effort to Protect National Security and Industry Dominance
ai generated text
The Biden administration has introduced new export regulations for advanced computer chips, targeting around 120 countries. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo highlighted the need for the US to maintain its leadership in Artificial Intelligence (AI), citing its current dominance in both AI development and chip design. The new rules set quotas for the export of AI chips, capping the number that can be sent to most countries, while exempting 18 allies, including Japan, the UK, and the Netherlands. This move aims to create a global divide, with certain regions gaining access to the latest US advanced computing power.
The US leads AI now - both AI development and AI chip design, and it's critical that we keep it that way.
As AI becomes more powerful, the risks to our national security become even more intense.
We're confident we can comply fully with this rule's high security standards and meet the technology needs of countries and customers around the world that rely on us.
The new rules would control technology worldwide, including technology that is already widely available in mainstream gaming PCs and consumer hardware.
While cloaked in the guise of an 'anti-China' measure, these rules would do nothing to enhance US security.
The new rule risks causing unintended and lasting damage to America's economy and global competitiveness in semiconductors and AI by ceding strategic markets to our competitors.
