AI | Ben Buchanan Says US Chip Export Curbs Are Essential

Ben Buchanan said the US should maintain curbs on chip exports to China, calling them “essential” and “more urgent now” given the US lead in the AI race, Bloomberg reported. Buchanan, a former White House special adviser for Artificial Intelligence in the Biden administration, said the Trump administration made a mistake by not enforcing the Biden administration’s “diffusion rule,” which extended strict controls on AI chip exports to keep chips from reaching adversaries.
