US considers new limits on AI chip

Citing sources familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported that the US Department of Commerce may take action starting next month to stop shipments of chips from Nvidia and other chipmakers to customers in China and other countries. related without prior license.

The move could further limit the development of AI capabilities in China after restrictions last year cut off access to the most advanced AI chips made by Nvidia and AMD, according to the report.

Noting that Nvidia has created a subversion of artificial intelligence chips for the Chinese market, it was noted that the new restrictions would prohibit even the unlicensed sale of these chips.

The United States is also considering restricting the leasing of cloud services to Chinese AI companies that use such regulations to circumvent export bans on advanced chips, according to the report.

In the news, which noted that chipmakers wanted the administration to waive or ease the new restrictions, it was emphasized that it was unclear when the new restrictions would take effect. (AA)
