US Targets AI Chip Smuggling to China

US lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan bill to prevent the illicit transfer of advanced AI chips to China. This initiative aims to close loopholes that allow unauthorized resellers to bypass export controls.
Export Controls Under Scrutiny
The legislation seeks to reinforce existing export regulations on semiconductors central to AI development, citing national security risks. Lawmakers expressed concern that US-made chips are still finding their way into adversarial nations despite restrictions.
