Microsoft urges Trump to overhaul Biden’s last AI-chip export curbs

Microsoft has urged President Donald Trump’s team to ease export restrictions imposed on artificial intelligence chips in the closing days of the Biden administration, saying the measures should not extend to a group of U.S. allies.

In a blog post published on Thursday, the tech giant said these rules disadvantaged allies, including India, Switzerland and Israel, and limited the ability of U.S. tech companies to build and expand AI data centers in these countries.
