According to CoinMeta, the Trump administration in the United States is finalizing new export control regulations for AI chips, aiming to restrict Chinese AI companies from remotely using advanced chips such as NVIDIA Blackwell through overseas data centers. The new rules are expected to be announced this month and will include Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Norway, Brazil, and South Africa in a stricter chip export licensing system. Local non-U.S. companies operating data centers that import controlled NVIDIA Blackwell and the latest generation of Rubin chips will need to apply for licenses from the U.S., declare the recipients of the equipment, and its ultimate use, and will be subject to ongoing supervision. U.S.-owned data centers, however, are conditionally exempted; as long as they prohibit the remote use of these advanced chips by countries subject to U.S. arms embargoes, such as China and Russia, they do not need to apply for separate licenses for importing these chips. Faced with the risk of tighter policies, Chinese cloud service providers and AI laboratories are accelerating their reservations for NVIDIA computing power overseas.
