U.S. Drafting Regulations for Global AI Chip Exports
The United States is drafting a regulation that would require a license for the global export of AI chips. This regulation would position the U.S. government as the 'gatekeeper' of the AI industry, requiring companies (and in some cases, their respective governments) to obtain approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce to purchase AI accelerators. The new regulation would extend the current controls, which cover approximately 40 countries, to a global scale.
