SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 17, 2023] | SaltWireWASHINGTON - The Biden administration said on Tuesday it plans to halt shipments to China of more advanced artificial intelligence chips designed by Nvidia and others, part of a suite of measures aimed at stopping Beijing from getting cutting-edge U.S. technologies to strengthen its military.
The goal is to limit China's access to"advanced semiconductors that could fuel breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and sophisticated computers that are critical to military applications," she said, stressing the administration was not seeking to hurt Beijing economically. Nvidia's A800 and H800 chips will be hit by the new regulations, due to a change in chip parameters aimed at capturing a greater number of chips.
Nvidia and Intel created special chips for the Chinese market that retained the powerful computing capabilities but limited communications speeds to stay inside the previous rules. The senior administration official said this rule was meant to prevent companies from trying to work around restrictions on full chips by using a technology called"chiplets," where firms could try to join together small pieces called chiplets into a large chip that violates the rules.
