Biden Administration Adopts Rules to Guide A.I.’s Global Spread
Published On Jan 13, 2025, 6:01 AM
The Biden administration has introduced new regulations aimed at controlling the distribution of artificial intelligence (AI) chips and models to foreign countries. The goal is to ensure that advanced AI technology remains within the U.S. and its allies, preventing adversaries like China and Russia from accessing these capabilities. The rules categorize countries based on their relations with the U.S., allowing free access to AI chips for the U.S. and 18 allied nations while placing stringent restrictions on potentially adversarial nations and imposing caps on other nations.
Stock Forecasts
NVDA
Positive
The new regulations are likely to boost the market for U.S. tech companies involved in AI development as they benefit from protection against foreign competitors and increased demand for AI innovation domestically. Companies that are positioned well in the AI sector, especially those supplying the chips or technology for AI, may see favorable growth due to limited competition from abroad.
AMD
Negative
Conversely, companies that have significant business operations or partnerships in China or that depend on international markets for sales may face headwinds as restrictions could limit their access and growth potential in those regions. This could cause a negative impact on stock performance for these companies.
