US EditionTrump administration rescinds Biden AI chip export rule
- The U.S. Department of Commerce withdrew the Biden Administration’s Artificial Intelligence Diffusion Rule shortly before its scheduled implementation on May 15, 2025.
- The rescission followed a week of promises to revise the regulation that had sought to impose tiered export limits on U.S.-made AI chips to balance security and economic interests.
- Under the rule, countries were divided into three tiers with no limits on nations like Japan and South Korea, new limits for Mexico and Portugal, and tighter controls on China and Russia.
- Commerce Undersecretary Jeffery Kessler stated the Trump Administration will replace the rescinded rule with a "bold, inclusive strategy" involving trusted foreign partners and protecting AI technology from adversaries.
- The Department warned the original rule risked stifling American innovation and burdening companies with complex regulations, indicating the replacement will likely focus on tailored negotiations rather than blanket restrictions.
