The Biden administration on Monday proposed a new framework that levies restrictions on the export of the advanced computer chips used to develop artificial intelligence, which industry executives say would limit access to existing chips used for video games and restrict in 120 countries — including Israel — the chips used for data centers and AI products.
Local industry experts raised concerns that the new restrictions will make it much harder for Israel to keep up the AI pace, as the US with the new regulation is essentially choosing the winners and the losers of the AI revolution.
What it means in practice is that it will be hard for Israeli companies to create and train new AI models because we don’t have the computing power . . .
It could also deter global tech companies from building large computing centers and executing big AI projects in Israel.
The allies without restrictions include Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

Apparently, Biden is imposing these restriction on Israel in order to hurt their ability to compete in a field in which they are now world leaders.
This administration is doing everything it can to screw things up for Trump.
That’s obvious.
Biden is choosing winners and losers. Israel is one of the losers.
Generally speaking whatever the Israelis build ends up becoming American. Usually because, when it comes to weapons, they are made in partnership with us but even many of the private enterprises get bought out. Warren Buffet bought an Israel tool manufacturer, Google bought Waze mapping service, Facebook bought a few smaller tech companies and even McDonalds recently bought a new drive through kiosk technology that apparently can speak 1000 languages and dialects to place orders for a Royale with Cheese.
Wouldn’t this be rescinded at the stroke of Trumps pen?
NOTE TO ISRAEL:
HANG ON-—HELP IS COMING
They won't get anything done in seven days. Trump's team will proposed a different "framework." But this shows how much Biden & Co. hate Israel.
Did they put Iran on the list of permissible countries?
Not always.
US Army scraps $1b. Iron Dome project, after Israel refuses to provide key codes.
This, despite the U.S. giving Israel money to help build Iron Dome.
Interesting information. Thanks for posting. Both Israel and America benefit from Israeli technical innovation and development.
As usual, the restrictions are another of Biden’s usual bad decisions.
You spelled Chinese wrong.
Allahwahoo Whackbar ( sarc.)
So Israelis are going to work on AI processors for NVidia, AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm in Israel, but Israeli companies won’t be allowed to buy these? Sorry, but this isn’t about National Security. It’s about the Biden Administration just wanting to screw Israel. AI, cyber-defense, and C4I are at the heart of Israel’s military. The Left wants to end Israeli military advantages over its neighbors.
Whole issue is being used to further the administrative surveillance state.
