The Biden administration on Friday revised rules aimed at making it harder for China to access U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) chips and chipmaking tools, part of an effort to hobble Beijing's chipmaking industry over national security concerns.
The rules, released in October, seek to halt shipments to
China of more advanced AI chips designed by Nvidia and others as Washington
cracks down on Beijing over concerns its advancing tech sector could help boost
China's military.
The new rules, which run 166 pages in length, go into effect
on Thursday. They clarify, for example, that restrictions on chip shipments to
China also apply to laptops containing those chips.
The Commerce Department, which oversees export controls, has
said it plans to continue updating its restrictions on technology shipments to
China as it seeks to bolster and fine-tune the measures.
