Biden's AI chip export restrictions give Trump a powerful weapon as Europe prepares for U.S. assault on its tech rules

Biden's recent AI chip export restrictions have inadvertently provided Trump and his tech allies a strategic advantage against European tech regulations. The interim rule limits advanced AI chip exports from U.S. companies to only 18 close allies, aiming to curb Chinese access to U.S. technology. This move has raised concerns among EU officials, who argue that unrestricted access to U.S. AI chips is vital for both economic and security interests.

The tiered-access system established by the Biden administration could allow Trump to leverage negotiations with countries seeking expanded access to U.S. AI technology. This situation is particularly relevant as U.S. tech leaders, including Musk and Zuckerberg, anticipate Trump's support in combating EU regulations like the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act. The potential for a clash between U.S. tech interests and EU regulations looms, especially with the European Commission already reassessing ongoing investigations into major tech firms.

• Biden's AI chip export rules may empower Trump against EU tech regulations.

• EU officials express concerns over U.S. restrictions impacting tech cooperation.
