Trump Scraps Biden’s AI Chip Policy

Trump Plans Overhaul of AI Chip Export Rules, Ditching Biden-Era Restrictions

The Trump administration will scrap Biden’s complex “AI diffusion rule,” which restricted advanced AI chip exports via a tiered system. It plans to replace it with a streamlined, bilateral framework that balances national security with U.S. innovation and industry competitiveness.

Key Developments:

  • AI Diffusion Rule Revoked: Rule deemed overly complex, risking innovation setbacks.

  • Industry Welcomes Change: Nvidia, facing significant losses from restrictions, supports simplified controls.

  • New Bilateral Framework: Proposed direct agreements aim to protect U.S. security interests without hindering global competitiveness.


The policy shift highlights the tension between safeguarding national security and ensuring the global leadership of U.S. tech firms in AI technology.

Will this shift strengthen U.S. AI leadership over the next five years?
