US House lawmakers are pushing AI export control measures to close loopholes that allow China to access powerful US AI technology, including Nvidia chips.

The US Commerce Department has confirmed a new, stricter framework for AI accelerator export controls, formally replacing the Biden-era AI diffusion rule and requiring government licensing for strategic AI chip shipments to most countries.
