U.S. Tightens AI Chip Export Rules

The Biden-Harris administration announced new regulations on Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, aimed at controlling the export of advanced computing chips and artificial intelligence (AI) technology, citing national security and foreign policy interests.

The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) stated that the new rules are designed to prevent U.S. technology from falling into the hands of adversaries while ensuring that responsible partners have access to these advancements. The regulations specifically target advanced computing chips and the “weights” of closed AI models, which are essential for developing and deploying powerful AI systems.

The rules require authorizations for exports, re-exports, and in-country transfers to a broader set of countries. However, the regulations include exceptions and authorizations for transactions that do not pose national security risks.

“This policy will help build a trusted technology ecosystem around the world and allow us to protect against the national security risks associated with AI, while ensuring controls do not stifle innovation or US technological leadership,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan emphasized the importance of ensuring that “frontier AI training infrastructure remains in the United States and closely allied countries,” while facilitating responsible global diffusion of American AI.
