The U.S. officials have prepared draft regulations that would restrict AI chip sales globally without U.S. approval, Bloomberg News reported.
The proposed rules would require companies to get U.S. permission for virtually all exports of AI accelerators developed by the likes
Global regulations would require U.S. approval for nearly all AI chip exports, making the U.S. government a gatekeeper for Nvidia and AMD’s exports and potentially limiting their international sales and revenue.
Restrictions may hinder countries’ abilities to develop critical digital infrastructure, affecting economic growth, competitiveness, and military capabilities, with approvals varying based on security pledges and investment in U.S. AI.
The framework keeps strict controls on the number and type of chips allowed to China, adds potential conditions on exports to limit Huawei’s rise, and leverages licensing and tariffs to further curb Chinese AI advancement.
