Host: Jasmine Lee
During his tour of the Middle East, U.S. President Trump announced a wave of new artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor deals potentially worth hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars. His administration also recently revealed plans to scrap Biden-era AI chip diffusion rules that some experts and former officials have said were too difficult to enforce. How has the chip industry reacted to this news? How would these proposed rule changes reshape the global semiconductor market? And what is China doing to try to close its chip technology gap with the United States? In this episode, we discuss how U.S. semiconductor policy has evolved over time, the potential consequences of Washington’s latest proposals, and Beijing’s efforts to overcome these obstacles.
