The Biden administration plans to impose additional restrictions on the export of artificial intelligence (AI) chips from companies like Nvidia in a last-minute effort before leaving office. The goal is to limit the sale of AI chips used in data centers, particularly to China and Russia, with the aim of promoting their development in friendly nations that align with American standards. This move would expand existing semiconductor caps to most countries worldwide, as the US seeks to control the spread of AI technology amidst growing demand.
