Chip designers Nvidia and AMD both said they received new licensing requirements that will halt exports of two top computing chips for artificial intelligence work to Communist China. The move could cripple the ability of Chinese companies to conduct advanced work such as image recognition. The announcement indicates a major escalation of the U.S. crackdown on China’s technological capabilities, media reported on September 1.
The analyst said the latest U.S. export ban on some advanced artificial intelligence chips could strike a large number of Chinese tech companies, including tech giants such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, Tencent Holdings Ltd, Baidu Inc, and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.
This is not the first time the U.S. has taken action. As early as 2021, the U.S. government banned suppliers from selling chips made with U.S. technology to Huawei without a special license.
