The Trump administration intends to rescind and revise a policy from the Biden era that limited international sales of advanced artificial intelligence chips, media outlets reported, citing a US Commerce Department spokesperson.
The regulation sought to, among other things, restrict China's ability to obtain cutting-edge semiconductors by categorizing nations into tiers, according to the reports.
The Commerce Department spokesperson reportedly said the existing framework was too cumbersome and bureaucratic, adding that a simpler rule would replace it to support innovation while maintaining US dominance in AI.
