Biden’s AI Chip Export Restrictions Include Greece Among Limited Group of Close Allies

U.S. President Joe Biden has decided to implement strict restrictions on the export of AI chips, limiting access to all countries except a select group of 18 close allies. This decision will also impact nations such as Poland, Romania, and Israel, which have been placed in a tier 2 category, potentially slowing their domestic AI technology development.

Biden has decided to restrict the export of AI chips to all countries except a group of 18 close allies.

Close U.S. allies such as Greece, Poland, Romania, and Israel have been placed in tier 2 and will face restrictions that could slow the development of domestic AI technologies.

Australia is one of a select few countries exempt from sweeping new controls to limit the export of US-developed advanced computing chips and sharing of closed-weight AI models as the AI arms race heats up.

The outgoing Biden Administration announced the rules on Monday in an 11th-hour bid to bolster AI hegemony, prompting immediate protest from chipmaker and AI kingpin NVIDIA and the European Commission.

But the fresh curbs, which are not expected to take effect for another 120 days, could be short-lived, with president-elect Donald Trump set to take office in less than a week.
