Gov. Biden: Proposed Framework for Export Controls on Proliferation of Artificial Intelligence to be Introduced Days Before Leaving Office

The Biden administration intends to launch the Artificial Intelligence Proliferation Export Control Framework in the days leading up to its departure from office, imposing a new round of restrictions on the export of artificial intelligence chips from companies such as Nvidia, with the aim of preventing the flow of advanced technology to China and Russia. The new regulations may be released this Friday, the development of three levels of chip trade restrictions, the first level of a small number of U.S. allies may not be restricted access to the chip; the second level of the vast majority of countries and regions facing total computing power limitations to meet the U.S. requirements and standards can be raised to the upper limit; the third level, including China, Russia, including 24 countries and regions will be a total ban on imports of U.S. chips. In this regard, NVIDIA opposes the proposal, saying that it threatens economic growth and U.S. leadership; "Information Technology Industry Council" pointed out that it will limit the ability of U.S. companies to export, allowing competitors to profit; the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Association said that the regulations did not seek industry input, or weaken the U.S. related leadership and competitiveness; Oracle Executive Vice President Oracle's Executive Vice President questioned the unreasonableness of the regulations, arguing that the use of GPUs for AI services in the commercial cloud does not affect national security to the extent that it does.
