ChainThink reports that on August 28, according to The Information, the Trump administration is reviewing a new regulatory framework for AI chips aimed at restricting remote access to U.S. advanced AI chip computing resources.
Reports indicate that, following Trump's second term beginning in 2025, the White House has announced the revocation of the AI Diffusion Rule introduced during the Biden administration.
Currently, a small team within the U.S. Department of Commerce is developing a narrower, more targeted alternative to restrict geopolitical competitors from remotely accessing advanced AI chips via cloud computing and other means. The rule is still in development, and specific restrictions have not yet been finalized.
However, this move suggests that the U.S. government may reassert tighter oversight on the cross-border acquisition of advanced AI computing power, with particular focus on the potential to circumvent physical chip export restrictions through remote computing services.
