WASHINGTON, July 14 : Action regulating artificial intelligence and semiconductors is coming, a U.S. Commerce Department official who oversees export controls said at a hearing on Tuesday.
The official, Jeffrey Kessler, made the remarks while noting that the Trump administration does not plan to replace the Biden era AI diffusion rule, which set up a global regime capping AI chip shipments certain countries could receive.
