White House Ignites Firestorm With Rules Governing A.I.’s Global Spread
Published On Jan 9, 2025, 5:01 AM
The Biden administration is set to introduce new regulations regarding the production and distribution of AI chips, aiming to ensure that these advanced technologies remain under the control of the U.S. and its allies. The proposed rules would restrict the export of American-made AI chips to adversaries like China and Russia while allowing unrestricted access to allies in Europe and Japan. These measures are aimed at protecting both the technology and national security, potentially favoring U.S. companies like Google and Microsoft who operate data centers.
