US EditionUS Commerce Department Withdraws Planned Rule on AI Chip Exports
The withdrawal reflects internal disagreements over U.S. AI dominance strategy and national security, reversing Biden's 2025 export framework for advanced AI chips.
- On Friday, the U.S. Department of Commerce withdrew a draft rule on AI chip exports that had been posted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website on Feb. 26 pending review.
- Officials cited disagreements about national security and AI leadership when the Trump administration withdrew a draft rule, criticizing the Biden administration's approach as 'burdensome' last week.
- The draft proposed conditioning exports on foreign commitments, departing from the Biden three-tier export approach by linking shipments of 200,000 chips to investments and involving the Commerce Department's licensing office.
- The withdrawal complicates efforts to curb China’s access to advanced chips and affects U.S. efforts to preserve American AI leadership, while Commerce Department spokesperson gave no public explanation.
- The draft had circulated among other federal agencies in late February as part of ongoing rulemaking, and people familiar with the draft described it as burdensome amid Trump administration reversals.
