Biden tightens AI chip rules amid industry pushback
The Biden administration has proposed new rules to control the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips.
It says the move is due to national security concerns.
The rules aim to restrict cutting-edge technology within the U.S. and its allies while limiting access in 120 countries.
These include Israel, Mexico, and Portugal.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stressed the need to protect AI advancements and prevent foreign enemies from exploiting them.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan highlighted the focus on developing AI in the U.S. and with key allies.
However, industry groups have raised alarms.
They say the new rules could disrupt global supply chains and disadvantage American companies.
The Semiconductor Industry Association criticized the rushed timing before the transition to President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20.
Observers say the move underscores growing tensions between security priorities and economic interests in the AI era.
