Trump Administration Working on AI Rule to Curb China’s Remote Access to Chips

The Trump administration is developing a new AI rule aimed at restricting China's ability to remotely access advanced chips. The policy targets cloud-based workarounds that allow Chinese entities to use restricted semiconductor computing power without physically possessing the hardware. This move extends beyond existing export controls, which focus on physical chip shipments, to address the growing loophole of remote access. The rule reflects ongoing U.S. efforts to close gaps in its technology containment strategy against China.
