US slams brakes on AI Diffusion Rule, hardens chip export curbs

The Ministry of Commerce (DOC) criticized the brake on the “prevalence of artificial intelligence”, just one day before because of the sting. Meanwhile, officials put the glove with more striking measures to control semiconductor exports.

It was the base of the spread of artificial intelligence, a piece of regulations cooked under Biden’s management, staring at the deadline for compliance on May 15. According to people in DOC, allowing this base to put it was like a ship’s switch in American innovation work.

DOC officials argue that Al Qaeda would have inhibited technology companies with “new, exhausting regulatory requirements”, and perhaps more surprising, risking America’s tension on the global stage by “reducing dozens” effectively from countries “to the second degree situation.”

Nuts and nails will witness the reflection of the Industry and Security Office (BIS), which is part of DOC, and published a notice in the federal registry to make the cancellation official. While this particular rule is heading to cut, the official line is that the alternative is not outside the table; One will be cooked and “in the future”.

Jeffrey Kisler, Minister of Commerce in Industry and Security, told BIS to start in anything related to the base of spreading artificial intelligence now.

“The Trump administration will follow a bold and comprehensive strategy for American artificial intelligence technology with reliable foreign countries around the world, while keeping technology outside the hands of our opponents,” said Kisler.

“At the same time, we reject the Biden administration’s attempt to impose the policies of uncommon and productive intelligence on the American people.”

What was the “prevalence of artificial intelligence” anyway?

You may wonder what this “prevalence of artificial intelligence” is already, and why it causes such an uproar.

The rule was not just a simple disk; The Biden Administration’s attempt to obtain a narrow grip about the progress of advanced American technology – everything from artificial intelligence chips to reach cloud computing and even “typical weights” of allergies – from the United States to the rest of the world.

The idea, at least on paper, was to walk on a tight rope: Keep the United States at the forefront of the artificial intelligence package, and the protection of national security, and the American technology exports champion is still.

But how do you plan to do this? Al -Qaeda put a somewhat complicated playing book:

• Grade system for countries: Imagine a global periodic schedule to reach artificial intelligence. The two countries were divided into three groups. Level 1 countries, the closest American allies like Japan and South Korea, would hardly witness any new restrictions. It is not surprising that level 3 has included countries that are already under weapons ban – such as China and Russia – which have already been banned largely from obtaining US chips and will face the most difficult imaginable controls.
• The covered medium: This is where things are sticky. A large group of countries, including countries such as Mexico, Portugal, India and even Switzerland, found itself at the level of 2. For them, the base meant new borders on the number of advanced artificial intelligence chips that they could import, especially if they were looking to build the large, high computing groups necessary for the development of AI.
• Close caps and scrutiny: Besides the levels, the base introduced actual caps to the amount of high -performance artificial intelligence chips that most countries can get. If anyone wants to bring lifthing chips than certain levels, especially to build huge AI databases, they have faced incredibly strict security tests and reporting duties.
• Control of “Minds”: Not only was the devices. Al Qaeda also aims to regulate the storage and export of the weight of the advanced artificial intelligence model – basically the basic programming and knowledge of the artificial intelligence system. There were strict rules that they were not stored in countries covered with weapons and only allowing them to be exported to preferred allies, and even then under narrow conditions.
• Technology as a bargaining drug: Under it, the frame was also part of the power play. The United States aims to use access to desirable artificial intelligence technology as a island, and encourages other countries to participate in American standards and guarantees if they want to maintain the flow of American chips and programs.

The Biden Administration had clear justifications for these moves. They wanted to stop opponents, with China the main concern, from putting their hands on advanced artificial intelligence that can be converted against American interests or used for military purposes. It was also a matter of strengthening the leadership of the United States in artificial intelligence, ensuring that the most effective artificial intelligence systems and infrastructure to operate it remained in the United States and the nearest circle of allies, all during my attempt to keep our export of technology able to compete.

However, the base of the spread of artificial intelligence and the broader plan did not get exactly a permanent applause. Far from that.

The main players in the United States of America – including giants such as NVIDIA, Microsoft and Oracle – have expressed strong concerns. They argued that Al Qaeda, instead of protecting American interests, would suffocate innovation, decrease business in the red tape, and eventually hurt the competitiveness of American companies on the world stage. It is very important that they have also complained that it will effectively prevent China from reaching advanced artificial intelligence chips through other means.

It was not just an industry. Many countries were not pleased with describing them as “second -class”, the situation they felt was not only insulting, but also risk undermining diplomatic relations. There was a real fear that it could push them to search for artificial intelligence technology elsewhere, and perhaps even from China, which was barely the intended result.

This widespread decline and concerns about obstructing innovation and international relations are exactly what the current Ministry of Commerce indicates as reasons for taking decisive measures today to cancel the base.

Fresh census on artificial intelligence chips exports

It was not only about canceling the old rules, though. BIS has also launched a new game book to tighten America’s grip on the exports of artificial intelligence chips, indicating that they are serious about guarding the crown jewels of technology in the country.

It includes the latest:

• Shedding light on Huawei ascending Chips: New guidelines make it clear: Use the Huawei Ascend chips anywhere on this planet is now unanimously at the title export of the United States. This aims directly for a senior Chinese player in the game of artificial intelligence devices.
• It wanders in training the Chinese artificial intelligence model: A blatant warning went to the public and the industry about the dire consequences if AI chips are used in the United States to train or operate Chinese artificial intelligence models. Anxiety? This American technology can be Amnesty International systems that may unintentionally not in the heart.
• Guidelines about supply chains: American companies get a new set of advice on how to hit the gates on their supply chains to prevent controlled technology from exposure to unacceptable destinations or users.

Today, the Ministry of Commerce sells dual today-shattering the base and enhancing export controls-as it is necessary to ensure that the United States remains at the forefront of creating artificial intelligence and maintaining global artificial intelligence dominance.

This policy axis is likely to get a thumb from some circles in the American technical scene, especially those who were getting the comfort of the difference about the base of spreading artificial intelligence and the red strip that threatened it. On the other hand, the most stringent-especially those that reach China and companies such as Huawei-that commercial policy is still a tool for the front lines in the global chess game with high risk of technology.

The whisper of the “replacement base” at the bottom of the line means that this is not the last chapter in the epic of how to manage the artificial intelligence revolution. Currently, the game’s plan appears to be clarifying the path of local innovation and being more careful about who plays with the latest American breakthrough.
