Anthropic is agreeing with the US government that implementing strong export controls on locally -made AI chips will help to compete with the United States in the AI race against China. But the company is proposing some opportunities for proposed sanctions.
Anthropic released a Blog Post On Wednesday, the company supports “the US Department of Commerce” strongly supporting “the” framework for the spread of artificial intelligence “before the date of the transitional implementation of the interim principle.
Framework The outgoing president Joe Biden proposed in January and aims to strengthen the control of AI chip exports for national security purposes and ensure US domination in AI. It divided the countries of the world into three degrees, with its own guidelines and sanctions.
Tire 3, the most binding levels, including countries that were already affected by existing export controls such as Russia and China, will face additional sanctions. Like Mexico and Portugal, tires 2 countries will come under export sanctions for the first time and will have a hat on how many chips they can buy. Tires 1 countries, such as Japan and South Korea, will continue without export sanctions.
When the restrictions were suggested in January, the semiconductor giant Nvidia Issued a statement They call them “unprecedented and misleading”, and suggest that they will “get out of the track” worldwide.
Clearly, the US -based AI companies, such as anthropic, do not agree. In his blog post, the lab expressed his support for the restrictions in a broad stroke.
However, Anthropic suggested Decrease Chips tires can buy the number of 2 countries without any review, and instead encourage these countries to buy more chips through government contracts with the government to avoid smuggling and increase US control.
The company also thinks that the US government should raise the fund to ensure that these export controls are properly implemented.
This statement of anthropic is not particularly surprising. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodi is a more addressed leader in favor of export sanctions. Amody had written an OPE ed in it Wall Street Journal Why the United States needs strong control of chip exports in January.
