US President has imposed new restrictions on chips used in artificial intelligence (AI). As a result, it became more difficult for hostile countries including China and Russia to get advanced technology.

Earlier, the US Department of Commerce imposed restrictions on the sale of two dozen semiconductor materials to China. Along with this, the sale of US technology to various Chinese companies has also been banned.

New restrictions have been added this time. New regulations announced on Monday tighten controls on the export of AI chips. If this chip is to be exported or re-exported or supplied to any country, additional approval is required. However, this policy will be relaxed for friendly countries.

The U.S. believes that if U.S.-made semiconductors fall into China's hands, China can use them to develop new weapons and artificial intelligence systems.
