US to cap countries’ advanced chip access, with China in sights: sources


In a second escalation of chip restrictions this month, the US is planning to close sourcing loopholes through third-party countries, sources say.

The new export control measure will focus on controlling the global shipments of powerful graphics processing units (GPUs) that have become instrumental in the training of AI models, closing loopholes in existing rules, according to two people familiar with the matter, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo speaks at the convening of the International Network of AI Safety Institutes in San Francisco on November 20. The rule was drafted with input from US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, both considered China hawks, according to one of the sources.
