China faces outright ban while others vie for Uncle Sam's favor
The Biden administration is reportedly weighing new limits in the ongoing US-China trade war, which would ban high-end AI accelerators to adversary nations and impose restrictions on AI models for others.the new rules, which could come as early as Friday — 10 days before president-elect Donald Trump returns to the white house — would categorize nations into three progressively more restrictive tiers.
The second tier, meanwhile, would establish import limits on the volume of compute power the rest of the world is able to maintain, effectively establishing the US as the global gatekeeper for AI development. Along with compute caps on tier-2 nations, the rules may also include limits on the export of closed AI model weights. Model weights represent the numerical values that dictate how modern AI models function.
Along with controlling who can acquire the arms of the AI revolution, the rules would also establish limits on where nations can deploy their allocation. Under the rules, American companies would be required to keep at least half of their total computing power within US borders.
