[top] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
With the Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion interim final rule, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) revises the Export Administration Regulations' (EAR) controls on advanced computing integrated circuits (ICs) and adds a new control on artificial intelligence (AI) model weights for certain advanced closed-weight dual-use AI models. In conjunction with the expansion of these controls, which BIS has determined are necessary to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, BIS is adding new license exceptions and updating the Data Center Validated End User authorization to facilitate the export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of advanced computing ICs to end users in destinations that do not raise national security or foreign policy concerns.Together, these changes will cultivate secure ecosystems for the responsible diffusion and use of AI and advanced computing ICs.
Public Briefing
On January 15, 2025, BIS will host a public briefing to address the details of this rule. The virtual public briefing will be held on January 15, 2025. The virtual public briefing will begin at 12 p.m. EST and conclude at 1 p.m. EST.
