The Biden administration is contemplating new rules to limit exports of advanced AI models to China and Russia.

The US Commerce Department may set a computing power benchmark to decide which AI models would face export restrictions.

These prospective regulations align with earlier actions to curb the export of high-tech equipment to China and enforce export controls on advanced AI semiconductors.

Revocation of export licenses from companies like Intel and Qualcomm represents a tightening of US policy against adversaries.

The US aims to prevent the use of American AI technology in cyber warfare or the development of biological weapons by these nations.

The Chinese Embassy has denounced the proposed export restrictions as economic coercion; the Russian Embassy has yet to respond.
