Monday, the United States government announced A new round of regulations on global AI chips, dividing the world into approximately three access levels. The rules create quotas for about 120 countries and allow access without restrictions for 18 US allies. Maintain existing prohibitions in China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.
GPU chips that accelerate AI-AI, such as those made by NVIDIA, currently serve as a backbone for a wide variety of implementations of AI models, such as chatbots such as chatgpt, AI video generators, autonomous cars, guidance systems for guidance systems Weapons and much more. The Biden administration fears that these chips can be used to undermine the national security of the United States.
According to the White House, “in the wrong hands, the powerful AI systems have the potential to exacerbate the significant risks of national security, even by allowing the development of weapons of mass destruction, supporting powerful offensive cyber operations and helping abuses abuse of human rights “.
The new rules are based on previous chip controls as of September 2022 and October 2023. The regulations will enter into force in 120 days, extending to the Trump incoming administration.
A game of numbers
The new regulations establish specific numerical limits in AI chips exports. While first level countries (the 18 key USA. UU.) They do not face restrictions, countries in the second level can receive up to 50,000 calls “Advanced computer chips“With the possibility of duplicating that limit to 100,000 if they sign technological security agreements with the US.
For most buyers, orders of up to 1,700 advanced chips will not require licenses or have these national limits, a policy designed to accelerate purchases by universities, medical institutions and research organizations.
