Microsoft recently urged US President Donald Trump to reduce the restrictions on export of artificial intelligence chips. Microsoft has also warned that such restrictions may be considered a “strategic incorrect step” in artificial intelligence competition.
The former US government, led by Joe Biden, imposed many restrictions on the export of chips and technologies to countries such as China. These restrictions are often due to national security concerns, and the new Trump government seems to be trying to reduce or cancel them.
Microsoft calls on Trump to reduce the export restrictions on artificial intelligence chips
Microsoft has warned Donald Trump such restrictions could give China a “strategic advantage” in the development of its artificial intelligence technology; Because emerging markets are forced to distance from the United States to access advanced technologies.
Microsoft has also argued that these restrictions may undermine US foreign policy priority, strengthen its leadership in artificial intelligence and reduce its business deficit.
The company goes on to point out that some US strategic partners such as Taiwan, South Korea, India and Switzerland have also been influenced by these restrictions. Microsoft also says that the restrictions imposed by the government have gone beyond its needs and affect the ability of US companies to build and develop artificial intelligence datacenters in the United States.
Microsoft has warned that one of the unwanted consequences of this approach is that US allies are distanced from the country to develop artificial intelligence infrastructure and technologies and are getting closer to China. Microsoft has continued to describe US government restrictions as a gift to the rising artificial intelligence industry in China.
The US government has restricted access to advanced artificial intelligence chips and technologies that Western companies have developed because of national security concerns. In response to these measures, China has also sought to develop native artificial intelligence chips and has achieved successes.
