The Biden administration prepared new action Monday to regulate artificial intelligence before President-elect Donald Trump takes office next week, forcing the incoming administration to make quick decisions about restricting emerging technology.
The Interim Final Rule on Artificial Intelligence Diffusion plans new controls for advanced AI chips and proposed model weights with the intention of keeping top tech out of foreign adversaries’ hands while sharing it with U.S. allies.
Mr. Trump can undercut the regulation, but President Biden’s team is aiming to force the incoming administration to work from Mr. Biden’s blueprint that has the semiconductor industry on edge.
