(Daily Signal)—The race to develop artificial intelligence capabilities will play a decisive role in the “New Cold War” with China.
America currently enjoys a multiyear lead in cutting-edge AI technologies. This lead is protected by export controls that prevent China from obtaining America’s best technology and slow its progress in developing AI with dual-use civilian and military capabilities.
However, those controls need updating. AI is developing so quickly that America needs a framework to govern the sale of advanced AI semiconductor chips and model weights, promoting the diffusion of U.S. technology to good actors while denying it to adversaries like China.
The Biden administration attempted to create such a framework but it needed substantial reworking. Last month, the Trump administration rescinded the Biden-era “AI Diffusion Rule,” arguing that its regulations were too burdensome and that its “tiered” system would have alienated key U.S. diplomatic partners.
However, it must now act urgently to replace it with a superior framework to protect one of America’s last remaining technological advantages over China. Such a framework is consistent with the Trump administration’s America First Trade Policy and America First Investment Policy, both of which signaled greater technology restrictions for China.
