Biden to cut China off from more Nvidia chips, expand curbs to more countries

The Biden administration plans to halt shipments of advanced artificial intelligence chips by Nvidia and others to China as part of efforts to prevent Beijing from acquiring cutting-edge US technologies for military purposes. The new rules aim to restrict China's access to advanced semiconductors and close loopholes in previous regulations. The measures will also apply to countries including Iran and Russia, while Chinese chip designers Moore Thread and Biren will be added to the blacklist. The United States and China have been engaged in a technology war, and these curbs further escalate tensions between the two nations.

US updates export curbs on AI chips and tools to China

The Biden administration has revised rules to make it more difficult for China to access U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) chips and chipmaking tools over national security concerns. The new rules, effective Thursday, clarify that the restrictions on chip shipments to China also apply to laptops containing those chips. The aim is to curb Beijing's chipmaking industry and prevent the advancement of China's military capabilities. The rules were released in October and are part of ongoing efforts by the U.S. Commerce Department to update restrictions on technology shipments to China.

US chip curbs give Huawei a chance to fill the Nvidia void in China

The U.S. measures to limit the export of advanced AI chips to China may create an opportunity for Huawei to expand in its home market as Nvidia retreats. Huawei has been developing its own chips comparable to Nvidia's, but still lags behind in performance and ecosystem. However, if Huawei can replicate Nvidia's ecosystem and overcome intellectual property rights challenges, it could grab Nvidia's market share in China. This aligns with Huawei's goal of becoming a key provider of computing power for AI and promoting self-sufficiency in China.

US closer to greenlighting Nvidia chips for Saudi Arabia

The U.S. government is reportedly considering allowing Nvidia, a leading chip manufacturer, to export advanced chips to Saudi Arabia. This move could aid the country in training and running powerful AI models. Saudi Arabia is making efforts to comply with U.S. security requirements to acquire these chips, which were a topic of discussion at the recent GAIN AI summit in the country. The Biden administration had previously imposed restrictions on AI chip exports to countries like the UAE and China. Saudi Arabia has also been cautious about its involvement with Chinese firms in the AI space. Nvidia and the U.S. Department of Commerce declined to comment on the matter.
