The United States Department of Commerce said on Aug. 31 that the Biden administration has \u201cnot blocked chip sales to the Middle East,\u201d according to a report<\/a> from Reuters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This comes after disclosures were revealed in a Nvidia report<\/a> that the U.S. government had expanded requirements for export licenses for artificial intelligence (AI) chips. <\/p>\n

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a direct competitor of Nvidia, also received a similar letter from regulators. <\/p>\n

The Department of Commerce did not comment on whether the requirements were imposed on specific U.S. companies. However, the new rules would require Nvidia and AMD to obtain licenses before selling flagship chips to \u201csome Middle Eastern countries,\u201d according to the filing. <\/p>\n

Neither of the two companies has revealed if they have applied for said licenses or if there was any feedback on licensing for that region. <\/p>\n

Nvidia warned regulators in its quarterly report that being \u201ceffectively excluded from all or part of China\u201d could potentially \u201charm\u201d long-term results for the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In October 2022, the Biden administration issued the initial export controls in an effort to slow China from developing high-level AI systems with powerful semiconductor chips made by U.S. companies. <\/p>\n

Officials in Washington said they are considering tightening the aforementioned regulations<\/a> even more in a statement made on June 29, which would further limit the computing power on chips available in the Chinese market. <\/p>\n

The moves made by the U.S. government have been under close watch<\/a> from other regulators around the world. Shortly after the U.S.\u2019s initial regulations came into effect, an agreement<\/a> was made with the Netherlands and Japan to restrict exports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials in the United Kingdom, France and Germany have all openly said<\/a> they are considering screening Chinese foreign direct investment in crucial sectors such as AI. <\/p>\n

China has responded by saying it will control the export of gallium and germanium products, the primary raw materials needed to produce AI chips.<\/p>\n
