## U.S. Tightens Export Controls on AI Chips to China The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill aimed at strengthening export controls on artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China. The new legislation aims to close existing loopholes, preventing Chinese companies from accessing these components through data centers located outside of U.S. territory. The bill effectively extends export controls to cloud services. This is intended to block the circumvention of restrictions through the use of remote computing resources. This move represents a further step in the United States' strategy to limit China's access to advanced technologies, considered crucial for the development of AI and for military applications. Tensions between the two countries in this sector are increasing, with Washington seeking to maintain a technological advantage.
