The Battle Over AI Diffusion

This news podcast discusses two recent AI-related policies released by President Biden. The first policy allows private companies to build data centers on federal land, incentivizing domestic AI infrastructure development with a focus on renewable energy. The second, more controversial policy, introduces export controls on AI chips and models, categorizing countries into tiers with varying access levels, sparking debate and criticism from companies like Oracle and NVIDIA. The podcast highlights the 50,000 GPU limit imposed on Tier 2 countries, including India and Israel, as a significant restriction. The episode concludes by noting the uncertainty surrounding the incoming Trump administration's stance on these policies.
