Former AI advisor urges continued US export controls on chips to china

Ben Buchanan, a former White House special advisor for Artificial Intelligence under the Biden Administration and author of The Bitter Struggle: Superintelligence, Superpowers, and the Fate of the World, asserted that maintaining restrictions on US chip exports to China is crucial. Buchanan emphasized that these export controls are even more critical now due to the current competitive standing of the United States in the global AI race. Furthermore, he criticized the Trump administration for failing to enforce the Biden administration's diffusion rule, which was designed to prevent advanced AI chips from reaching adversarial nations.
