Warren Statement on New BIS Regulation Considering Licenses for the H200s

Trump's export control enforcer takes a page out of the Warren and Banks-led GAIN AI Act. If the Administration implements this in good faith, it should not approve a single H200 license.

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee released the following statement in response to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) rule on advanced AI chips:

"This is a good step by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to require companies like NVIDIA to prioritize U.S. customers. This policy was core to the Guaranteeing Access and Innovation for National Artificial Intelligence (GAIN AI) Act, which Senator Banks and I introduced last year but unfortunately was stripped from last year's National Defense Authorization Act because of David Sacks. This Committee will be watching implementation of this regulation closely. If BIS implements its regulation in good faith, it will not approve a single license for NVIDIA to sell H200s to China. Demand for AI chips in the United States far outstrips supply, and we should not let companies like NVIDIA sell to Chinese tech giants as U.S. companies, startups, and universities wait in line. I will keep working with my colleagues to pass bipartisan legislation like the GAIN AI Act and the SAFE Chips Act."
