Oct 15, 2024, 01:11 AM

The Biden administration is reportedly considering imposing export limits on AI chips from Nvidia, AMD, and other US firms to certain countries. This move, driven by national security concerns, aims to cap sales on a country-specific basis, with a particular focus on nations in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East. The proposed restrictions would involve setting ceilings on export licenses for these advanced technologies, potentially slowing AI development in the targeted regions. Talks are currently in the early stages.
