Jake Sullivan Criticizes Trump Administration's AI Policy on China
Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to President Biden, has criticized the Trump administration's approach to artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on U.S.-China relations. His focus is on the handling of high-performance computing resources, particularly Nvidia's sales of advanced semiconductor technology to China.
During a recent briefing, Sullivan emphasized the need for the U.S. to maintain an edge over adversaries, arguing that past technology transfers compromised national security. He specifically pointed to high-end chip sales that could enhance China’s military and technological capabilities.
“We had a plan in place to limit the export of critical technologies, and the previous administration reversed course,” Sullivan stated. He is advocating for stricter regulations on technology exports to China, particularly in the semiconductor sector, as the Biden administration reviews frameworks to enhance oversight and mitigate risks associated with foreign adversaries.
