The Biden administration is considering closing a loophole that gives Chinese companies access to American artificial intelligence (AI) chips through units located overseas, according to four people familiar with the matter.
Those rules are set to be tightened in the coming days. A person familiar with the situation said the measures could be included in those new restrictions.
Washington is now considering ways to close the loophole, sources said, a move that has not been previously reported. The Commerce Department declined to comment. A representative from the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "We don't actually know how big a problem this is," said Hanna Dohmen, a research analyst at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology .
Sources said the new rules on AI chips expected this month will likely apply those same restrictions more broadly to all companies in the market.
