We recently published a list of Top 8 AI News Updates Investors Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ:DRS) stands against other top AI news updates investors should not miss.
The global AI industry is growing at a rapid pace but a looming deadline could stall development across the world. The AI diffusion rule, unveiled by Former US President Joe Biden during his last week in Office, restricts the number of AI processors that can be exported to most nations. The rule will be effective on May 15th.
The goal is to ensure that AI development stays concentrated in the US and its close allies. American policymakers want AI data centers and infrastructure built elsewhere to comply with US security standards. If the US government implements the controversial framework, industry experts believe it could disrupt global infrastructure development plans and pose challenges for leading technology companies expanding in foreign markets.
When asked about export controls last week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that “we should continue to interact with the government,” so that “whatever policy they believe is best, is informed.”
Amid fears of the US taking control of global AI development, senior foreign officials and top tech companies urge the Trump Administration to reassess the semiconductor strategy. They are trying to persuade Trump’s team to ease some regulations before the compliance deadline.
“Left unchanged, the Biden rule will give China a strategic advantage in spreading over time its own AI technology, echoing its rapid ascent in 5G telecommunications a decade ago,” said Microsoft president Brad Smith last month.
