The Biden administration is weighing new tech sanctions on China to restrict its’ AI development, Danske Bank’s Chief Analyst Allan Von Mehren and Chief Analyst Minna Kuusisto note.

US to restrict China using cutting-edge AI technology

“The Biden administration considers new sanctions against China’s AI development industry. The measures on the table regard a cutting-edge chip architecture know as GAA (gate all-around), which helps improve chip performance and reduces power consumption. The US will probably continue to take measures to hold back China’s AI and chip development going forward.”

“The question is how will China respond? It could get more serious with export controls on for example rare earth minerals. But it remains to be seen how much China retaliates.”
