A Growing Yard: The Biden Administration's China Export Controls Are Ensnaring CPUs | Center for Security and Emerging Technology
Since 2022, U.S. export controls have restricted the highest-performing AI chips from being exported to China. The Biden administration likely did not intend to control CPUs (i.e., general-purpose processors) with these restrictions. However, CPUs are increasingly subject to export controls because chip designers are incorporating specialized elements for AI computation into CPUs. In this blog post, we discuss the implications of controlling AI-capable CPUs and make recommendations for the Bu...| Center for Security and Emerging Technology
