US AI Export Regulations Under Review Amid Criticism from Nvidia and Microsoft
Published on 5.6.25
The US government's policies have faced criticism from industry leaders and experts, who argue that they stifle innovation and hinder global cooperation on AI development. Nvidia and Microsoft have been vocal in their criticism of current restrictions, imposed during the Biden administration, which limit the export of powerful AI chips to countries like the UAE.
These regulations have hindered the UAE's ability to implement AI projects, prompting calls for a reversal. The White House is now considering lifting the policy, which has been in place since May 2023. As the world's leading tech companies continue to push for more lenient regulations, it remains to be seen whether the White House will ultimately decide to relax these restrictions.
A recent visit by Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, National Security Advisor to the UAE President, has reignited discussions at the White House and Department of Commerce regarding potential policy changes.
