America delays the export of artificial intelligence chips to the Middle East

US officials in the United States delay licenses for electronic chips, such as ‘Invent Teen Corp’ and ‘Advands Micro Device’ (AMD), to execute artificial intelligence speeds in large quantities to the Middle East, according to people who do the matter in the region in the region on national security. The informed people, who asked not to reveal their identity, because especially the discussions, said that the period that the study will take is not clear, and that there is also no specific definition of what is considered a ‘large amount’ for export. They added that officials focus specifically on the amount of major sales amid the pursuit of countries, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, to enter large amounts of slides used in artificial intelligence data centers. Artificial Intelligence staff – produced by ‘Invidia’ – helps data centers to process the information needed to develop the automatic chat of artificial intelligence and other instruments. It has become many essential devices for businesses and governments that seek to create an artificial intelligence infrastructure. The Ministry of Commerce Limited the export of discs for the Middle East in October in October, and many of the countries of the Middle East added to the group of countries that put restrictions on the export of electronic chips to them, the restrictions that initially focused on China and a handful of other countries against the countries. This means that businesses must obtain a special license from the US government to export semiconductor and chip industry instruments to countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Some of these people said that US officials disrupted requests to obtain licenses that were submitted to them according to these rules, or that they did not receive them within a few weeks. This includes attempts to export to clients in the Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, according to one of these people. In addition to “Invidia Corp” and “AMD”, “Intel Corp” and the emerging company “Serbras Systems” are producing artificial intelligence chips, and the four companies refused to comment on this news. National security protection aims to give Washington enough time to develop a comprehensive strategy on how to publish these advanced chips abroad, according to the well -known people, some of whom said it negotiated on those who used the facilities used to train and secure artificial intelligence models. The shares of “Invidia” dropped to the lowest level during the trade session after the “Bloomberg” News News of Review and Study of Licenses. The share price at the closure in New York fell 3.8% to $ 1105. Meanwhile, AMD has contributed to some of its previous profits, closing below $ 1% at 166.75 dollars. The US Department of Trade said in a statement that “national security protection” is the pinnacle of its priorities. A representative of the ministry indicated that it is conducting an “accurate and comprehensive investigation into issues related to advanced technology through a joint process between the bodies, and the agencies are accurately reviewed by the licensing applications that are planning to carry out these advanced technologies to different parts of the world. protected. ” Thea Kindler, who leads the export department at the US Department of Trade, visited the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait earlier this month as part of these continued discussions. In the UAE, she indicated that there was progress in cooperating in semiconductors, another person who was familiar with the case said. The exclusion of Chinese businesses, one of the sources of anxiety, is that Chinese businesses – which are very excluded from the acquisition of advanced US technology – can reach these discs through databases in the Middle East. The Biden Administration begins a large scale campaign so that China cannot obtain semiconductors and its manufacturing equipment, for fear of using this technology to support its military capabilities. The UAE and Saudi Arabia compete for the region of artificial intelligence, with the aim of reducing the dependence on their economy of oil. Both countries are considered an important partner in those efforts. Senior officials and businesses said they would comply with US requests to separate Chinese supply chains from this technology – or completely abandoned Chinese technology. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has just concluded an agreement with the Chinese “Lenovo Group” group, including the construction of the computer industry as a research and development center in Riyadh. The ability to secure export licenses is a large part of the negotiations related to the investment of “Microsoft Corp” $ 1.5 billion in “G42” for artificial intelligence in Abu Dhabi, a partnership that came after months of discussions with US officials.
