US to Introduce New Restrictions on China’s Access to Cutting-Edge Chips
The new limits, which are expected to be announced Monday, are intended to slow China's ability to build large and powerful AI models.
In total, the Biden administration could end up adding around 200 Chinese firms to an entity list maintained by the Bureau of Industry and Security—an agency within the Commerce department—which would require other companies to acquire special licenses to supply them with software or products from the United States. Reuters reported on Friday that the US Chamber of Commerce, a powerful advocacy group for American businesses, warned its members in an email last week that a new round of export controls targeting China would be arriving “prior to the Thanksgiving break," though that timing now appears to have been pushed back by a few days. The Biden administration ratcheted up the controls in October 2022, limiting exports to China of cutting-edge GPU chips, including those made by Nvidia, a move aimed at curbing any Chinese company’s ability to train the most powerful AI models.
