The Biden administration is reportedly considering capping shipments of AI accelerators to certain Middle Eastern countries to prevent sensitive technologies from reaching China.
Sales of AI hardware to Middle Eastern nations are subject to special licensing, with exports already restricted since 2023 due to concerns of technology reselling.
Countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, striving for AI development, may face challenges if the U.S. tightens license availability for crucial American-made chips.
Entities like the UAE have had to sever ties with Chinese partners, such as Huawei, to alleviate concerns from U.S. intelligence regarding technology transfer.
