The Trump administration is set to roll back restrictions imposed by the Biden administration on the export of advanced AI chips, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Known as the Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion, these regulations were intended to restrict AI technology exports and keep advanced computing power primarily within the United States and its allies, while limiting access in China.

Critics, including current officials, argue that the rule is too complex and stifles American innovation. Instead, a more streamlined rule is proposed to ensure that the U.S. maintains its leadership in AI advancements.
