The Biden administration announced a sweeping set of export controls on chip-manufacturing equipment, memory, and software that will make it more difficult for companies like Huawei and ByteDance to develop cutting-edge AI.
The US Department of Commerce introduced a sweeping package of export controls on Monday designed to weaken China’s domestic semiconductor ecosystem and undermine the country’s ability to manufacture advanced chips locally. The new regulations prevent China from accessing 24 types of chip-manufacturing equipment and three software programs, and place restrictions on the sale to China of high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, an advanced kind of 3D-stacked computer memory component that is often used in customized AI chips.
