Show full summary
  • U.S. semiconductor companies and exporters: would need Commerce sign-off plus a congressional joint resolution for any export of chips above specified performance thresholds, such as total processing performance above 2,400 or DRAM bandwidth above 4,100 GB/s.
  • National security and foreign policy officials: would run an interagency review with the Secretaries of Defense, Energy, and State and the Director of National Intelligence and weigh six factors including national security, technological leadership, military risk, human rights, alternative supply, and economic impact.

New hurdles to export AI chips to China

This bill would add a two-step approval to export, reexport, or transfer advanced AI chips to the People’s Republic of China. First, the Secretary of Commerce would need to approve after a review with Defense, Energy, State, and the Director of National Intelligence. The review would weigh national security, U.S. tech leadership, military and human-rights risks, other sources, and U.S. jobs. Second, Congress would have to pass a joint resolution approving that specific action; Commerce would send Congress a report within 30 days after any approval. Exceptions would include humanitarian uses, U.S. diplomatic or consular needs in the PRC, and returns for repair or replacement.

Which AI chips and recipients are covered

The bill would set clear numbers for what counts as an “advanced AI” chip. A chip would be covered if it meets any one of these: total processing 2,400 or more; performance density 1.6 or more; DRAM bandwidth over 4,100 GB/s; interconnect over 1,100 GB/s; or DRAM plus interconnect over 5,100 GB/s. “People’s Republic of China” would include Hong Kong, Macau, and entities owned, controlled by, or acting for the PRC or the Chinese Communist Party. “Person” would mean any individual or legal entity, wherever located.

Rules would end after three years

The bill would end all of its rules three years after enactment. After that date, the Act would cease to be effective.
