Microsoft Urges Trump to Overhaul Biden's Ai Chip Export Curbs
Microsoft has urged President Donald Trump's team to ease export restrictions imposed on artificial intelligence chips in the closing days of his previous administration, saying the measures should not extend to a group of U.S. allies. The tech giant claimed these rules placed limitations on allies, including India, Switzerland and Israel, and limited the ability of U.S. tech companies to build and expand AI data centers in these countries. Microsoft also warned that tighter U.S. restrictions could give China a strategic advantage in the long-term AI race.
