The Biden administration is considering imposing new restrictions on China\u2019s access to AI memory chips and the equipment used to manufacture them.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This move, expected as early as this month, aims to limit Chinese firms’ access to critical AI components, which could significantly alter the global semiconductor landscape, and intensify the nations\u2019 rivalry.<\/p>\n

US Plans to Restrict AI Chip Access for China<\/span><\/h2>\n

According<\/a> to a Bloomberg report, the proposed restrictions are designed to prevent Micron Technology, SK Hynix, and Samsung Electronics from supplying Chinese companies with high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. Given their dominance in the global HBM market, this move is expected to have significant implications.<\/p>\n
