New US Rule Aims to Block China’s Access to AI Chips and Models by Restricting the World


The US government has announced a radical plan to control exports of cutting-edge AI technology to most nations.

The Biden administration announced a bold and controversial new export control scheme today, designed to prevent the advanced chips and artificial intelligence models themselves from ending up in the hands of adversaries such as China. The list of trusted nations are the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden and Taiwan. They will be able to apply for a special license to acquire more chips, to build very large scale datacenters using US technology, or to gain access to the most powerful closed model “weights” made by US firms.
