Humanity suggests adjustments to propose proposed US AI chip export control

Humanity agrees with the US government and that by implementing robust export controls on domestically made AI chips, it will help the US compete in the AI ​​race with China. However, the company has proposed some adjustments to the proposed limits.

Humanity has been released Blog post On Wednesday, the company said it is “strongly supportive” the U.S. Department of Commerce’s “artificial intelligence spread framework” ahead of the implementation date of the interim regulations on May 15th.

Framework Proposed by President Joe Biden, who will be resigning in January, it aims to strengthen AI chip export controls for national security purposes and ensure US control over AI. The countries of the world were divided into three layers, each with its own guidelines and restrictions.

Tier 3, the most restrictive tier, including countries already affected by existing export controls such as Russia and China, will face additional restrictions. Tier two countries like Mexico and Portugal are now experiencing export restrictions for the first time, with a cap on the number of chips they can buy. Tier 1 countries like Japan and South Korea will continue without export restrictions.

When these restrictions were proposed in January, the huge Nvidia in semiconductors A statement has been issued They call them “unprecedented, misguided” and suggest that innovation is “derailed” around the world.

Obviously, US-based AI companies like humanity should not agree. In that blog post, the lab expressed support with extensive strokes for restrictions.

But humanity proposed Decreased The number of tip tier countries can be purchased without reviews and instead encouraged these countries to buy more tips through government-to-government contracts, avoiding smuggling and increasing US control.

The company also believes the US government should increase its funding to ensure that these export controls are properly enforced.

This statement by humanity is not particularly surprising. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is one of the more vocal American AI leaders who support export restrictions. Amodei wrote Open in Wall Street Journal January about why the US needs stronger chip export controls.
