AI Export Control Measures Aimed at China Gain Steam in US House

The House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced a slate of bipartisan export control bills Wednesday that show a growing appetite in Congress for restricting the flow of artificial intelligence technology to China, as the Trump administration has so far held back on significant new curbs.

The panel is seeking to close what Republican and Democratic members see as loopholes allowing China to access powerful US technology including Nvidia Corp. chips. The measures set the stage for objections from both the White House and industry stakeholders, who have already raised concerns about potential new limits on shipments of chip tools.
