The U.S. government is preparing to announce a deal with Saudi Arabia to provide more access to advanced semiconductors for the latter, including chips from companies like NVIDIA and AMD.
Saudi Arabia's access to these chips is aimed at boosting its artificial intelligence ecosystem, with the launch of an AI venture supported by the $940 billion Public Investment Fund.
There are concerns about potential access to these chips by China, leading to restrictions imposed by both the Trump administration and Biden's 'Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion.'
Plans to simplify export control rules for AI chips may be announced soon to promote American innovation and dominance in AI technology.
