The Trump administration has announced plans to repeal the Biden-era AI Diffusion Rule, which imposed restrictions on the export of advanced AI semiconductor chips. This rule, introduced earlier in the year, limited shipments of AI chips to certain countries, including China and Gulf nations. The move to revoke these restrictions is part of a broader review of the semiconductor export sector and aims to facilitate freer trade of AI chips globally. Nvidia, a leading semiconductor company, welcomed the administration's decision, stating that revoking the AI Diffusion Rule presents a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" for the U.S.

to lead the next industrial revolution, create high-paying jobs, and build new domestic infrastructure. Following the announcement, semiconductor stocks, including Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, surged in the market. While the Trump administration plans to dismantle the Biden-era export controls, some new regulations may still be introduced, particularly targeting countries of concern. The policy shift is seen as a strategic move to enhance U.S. competitiveness in the AI sector, especially in relation to China. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security is expected to replace the previous rule with a revised framework. The repeal of the AI Diffusion Rule is also expected to impact chip exports to Gulf countries, where restrictions will be eased.
