US Weighs More Limits on China's Access to Chips Needed for AI.

The Biden administration is considering imposing further restrictions on China's access to chip technology used for artificial intelligence (AI). The potential measures would target a new chip architecture called gate all-around (GAA), which is expected to enhance the power of semiconductors. The aim is to make it more difficult for China to develop advanced computing systems for AI models and to control the technology before it becomes commercialized. Companies like Nvidia, Intel, and Advanced Micro Devices are planning to mass-produce semiconductors with GAA design in the near future. The US has already implemented several restrictions on the sale of advanced semiconductors to China due to concerns about China's military gaining an advantage in AI technology. The Biden administration is currently working on issuing additional regulations before the November presidential election. There are discussions about limiting exports of high-bandwidth memory chips as well. Some US allies are also considering their own export control measures for GAA technology.
