The US House Foreign Affairs Committee has advanced a bill giving Congress power to block AI chip exports to China and other adversaries, despite opposition from White House AI tsar David Sacks. The bill, introduced by Representative Brian Mast, aims to prevent advanced AI chips from being used for military or surveillance purposes by countries like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. The legislation requires detailed applications for export licenses and has gained support after a media campaign. The bill faces further approval from the full House and Senate.
