Microsoft Pushes Trump Admin to Relax AI Chip Export Restrictions

Microsoft is pressing the Trump administration to loosen and simplify a new system restricting sales of cutting-edge U.S. AI chips to much of the world. In a blog post, Microsoft called for easing limits on chips used in data centers for training AI models, exempting U.S.-friendly nations like India, Switzerland, and Israel. These countries fall under the second tier of a three-tier export control system.
