Nvidia Snaps Back at Biden’s ‘Innovation-Killing’ AI Chip Export Restrictions
Nvidia has hit back at the outgoing Biden administration’s AI chip tech export restrictions designed to tighten America’s stranglehold on supply chains and maintain market dominance. From a report: The White House today unveiled what it calls the Final Rule on Artificial Intelligence Diffusion from the Biden-Harris government, placing limits on the number of AI-focused chips that can be exported to most countries, but allowing exemptions for key allies and partners.
The intent is to work with AI companies and foreign governments to initiate critical security and trust standards as they build out their AI infrastructure, but the regulation also makes it clear that the focus of this policy is “to enhance US national security and economic strength,” and “it is essential that … the world’s AI runs on American rails.” Measures are intended to restrict the transfer to non-trusted countries of the weights for advanced “closed-weight” AI models, and set out security standards to protect the weights of such models. However GPU supremo Nvidia claims the proposed rules are so harmful that it has published a document strongly criticizing the decision.
