U.S. to scrap plan to control exports of AI semiconductors based on country ratings

The Trump administration plans to put the brakes on chip curbs crafted by the former Biden administration.

The so-called Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion seeks to maintain advanced computing power WITHIN the U.S. and AMONG its allies while blocking Chinese access by restricting exports of advanced AI chips.

American companies were expected to comply with this AI diffusion framework starting May 15th.

Officials under the current Trump administration say they are looking to replace this Biden-era plan with a quote "simpler rule" that may include separate bilateral accords between the U.S. and its partners.
