OpenAI Backs Congressional Bill to Restrict AI Chip Exports to China

According to foreign media reports citing anonymous sources, OpenAI informed lawmakers this week that it will support export restriction legislation targeting China after months of internal review. The U.S. Congress is currently advancing three bills: restricting the export of advanced AI semiconductors to China, blocking evasion measures for NVIDIA's AI chip exports, and limiting China's access to advanced equipment from Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML. Lawmakers hope to incorporate these bills into the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to secure passage before the end of the year.
