The existing rules known as Artificial Intelligence Diffusion rule had to enter into force on May 15 and limit the supply of chips to more than 100 countries. However, the new administration wants to replace them with a more flexible bilateral agreement system and maintains strict restrictions for China, Russia and Macau.
Previously, “Third Type” countries have been forbidden, and only “first type” allies, such as Japan, Germany and South Korea, can get more than 50,000 chips per year.
Now, if other countries accept investments approaching the American economy, they will be able to access American processors such as Saudi Arabia and UAE.
Nvidia welcomed the changes, saying that this is “opening opportunities for the new technological leadership of the United States” and that allies would reduce the risk of going to Chinese competitors such as Huawei.
