The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has announced intentions to dismantle regulations implemented during President Joe Biden's tenure concerning the export of advanced AI chips. A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Commerce made the statement on Wednesday.

The existing rule, established under the Biden administration to regulate the outflow of cutting-edge technology, is viewed as excessively complicated and burdensome, according to the spokesperson.

The proposed action to rescind the current policy underscores a push to foster a less restrictive approach, aiming to simplify the regulatory landscape for AI exports.
