The US Moves to Further Restrict China's Access to AI-Enabling Chip Technology

The Biden administration is considering new restrictions on China's ability to acquire advanced semiconductor technology crucial for artificial intelligence applications.

This move comes as the ongoing chip arms race between the US and China intensifies, with both sides vying for technological supremacy in the field of AI. The proposed restrictions would target the latest generation of semiconductor technology that enables more efficient and capable AI hardware.

The details of the potential new measures would likely build upon previous export controls implemented by the US to curb China's access to advanced chips and chip-making equipment. This will limit China's ability to acquire the necessary semiconductor building blocks.

The battle over access to critical chip technology is a key front in the broader competition between the US and China for primacy in the transformative field of artificial intelligence.

This makes me question how these proposed restrictions will impact the global AI landscape? Is AI inherently political or is it made to be?
