The U.S. Senate passed a bill to restrict the export of AI chips, prioritizing the needs of domestic companies.

Foreign media: On October 10, the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan bill requiring Nvidia and AMD to prioritize U.S. companies' needs over Chinese customers when exporting artificial intelligence chips. This is seen as another move by the United States to curb China in high-tech fields.

The bill was proposed by Republican Congressman Jim Banks and Democratic Congressman Elizabeth Warren, aiming to strengthen the United States' competitiveness in cutting-edge technology and restrict exports to "foreign adversaries" such as China.

Warren said this measure would ensure that U.S. businesses, including small companies and startups, would not have to "wait behind China's tech giants" when purchasing the latest AI chips.

However, leaders in the U.S. technology industry criticized the bill for weakening innovation and market competition. The measure was included in the annual defense policy bill, but it remains uncertain whether it will ultimately be enacted into law.
