The US is gearing up to stop local chip makers from selling semiconductors to China that get around government rules. This is all part of the Biden administration's upcoming plan to put a stop to more AI chip exports. Now, these new rules, which are being reported by Reuters for the first time, are going to add to the already pretty extensive US restrictions on shipping advanced chips and chipmaking gear to China that were announced last October. We're expecting these updates sometime this week, but you know how these things go - schedules can change. But it does make you wonder, why is the administration making this move now?

An anonymous official has indicated that the upcoming regulations will ban certain AI chips that just barely fall short of the current technical standards, and will mandate that companies disclose other shipments.
In the previous year, government restrictions prevented Nvidia, the leading chipmaker in the world, from delivering two of its most sophisticated AI chips to clients in China. These chips have set the industry benchmark for the development of chatbots and other AI systems.
