'Essential' That US Upholds Export Controls on Chips, Says Ben Buchanan

Ben Buchanan, former White House special advisor for Artificial Intelligence in the Biden Administration and author of the new book 'The Bitter Struggle: Superintelligence, Superpowers, and the Fate of the World,' said that it is 'essential' that the US maintain its curbs around exports of US chips to China and is 'more urgent now' given the lead the US has in the AI race. Buchanan said that the Trump administration made a mistake in not enforcing the Biden administration's 'diffusion rule,' which extended strict controls on AI chip exports to stop chips from reaching adversaries.
