1月13日芯榜消息，英伟达针对拜登政府拟出台AI扩散的管控新规发表声明。

英伟达政府事务副总裁Ned Finkle撰文批评，拜登政府以“AI扩散”规则限制主流计算应用权限。该规则虽打“反华”旗号，却无助美国安全，妄图控制全球技术，不仅无法缓解威胁，反而削弱美全球竞争力，破坏创新，尽显弊端。

NVIDIA关于拜登政府错误“AI扩散”规则的声明

数十年来，在计算机和软件生态系统方面的领导力一直是美国在全球范围内实力和影响力的基石。联邦政府明智地避免了对主流计算机和软件的设计、营销及销售进行规定，而这些正是创新和经济增长的关键驱动力。

首届特朗普政府为美国在人工智能（AI）领域的当前实力和成功奠定了基础，营造了一个美国产业能够凭借实力竞争并获胜，同时又不损害国家安全的环境。因此，主流AI已成为每个新应用中不可或缺的一部分，推动着经济增长，促进着美国利益，并确保了美国在尖端技术领域的领先地位。

如今，世界各地的公司、初创企业和大学都在利用主流AI推动医疗、农业、制造业、教育以及无数其他领域的发展，促进经济增长，并释放各国的潜力。建立在美国技术之上的全球AI应用，为国内外产业带来了增长和机遇。

然而，这一全球进步现在正面临威胁。拜登政府现在试图通过其前所未有的且错误的“AI扩散”规则来限制对主流计算应用的访问，这一规则有可能破坏全球的创新和经济增长。

在任期即将结束的最后几天里，拜登政府试图通过一项200多页的、秘密起草且未经适当立法审查的繁琐监管规定来削弱美国的领导地位。这一广泛的过度监管将对美国领先半导体、计算机、系统甚至软件在全球范围内的设计和营销施加官僚控制。并且，通过试图操纵市场结果和扼杀竞争——这是创新的生命线——拜登政府的新规则将威胁到浪费美国来之不易的技术优势。

虽然这些规则打着“反中国”措施的幌子，但它们丝毫不会增强美国的安全。新规则将控制全球范围内的技术，包括已经广泛应用于主流游戏电脑和消费者硬件中的技术。这些新规则非但不能减轻任何威胁，反而只会削弱美国的全球竞争力，破坏使美国保持领先地位的创新。

尽管该规则在120天内不可执行，但它已经损害了美国的利益。正如首届特朗普政府所证明的那样，美国通过创新、竞争以及与世界分享我们的技术来取得胜利——而不是躲在政府过度监管的墙后。我们期待着政策回归，以加强美国的领导地位，支撑我们的经济，并在AI及其他领域保持我们的竞争优势。

NVIDIA Statement on the Biden Administration’s Misguided ‘AI Diffusion’ Rule

For decades, leadership in computing and software ecosystems has been a cornerstone of American strength and influence worldwide. The federal government has wisely refrained from dictating the design, marketing and sale of mainstream computers and software — key drivers of innovation and economic growth.

The first Trump Administration laid the foundation for America’s current strength and success in AI, fostering an environment where U.S. industry could compete and win on merit without compromising national security. As a result, mainstream AI has become an integral part of every new application, driving economic growth, promoting U.S. interests and ensuring American leadership in cutting-edge technology.

Today, companies, startups and universities around the world are tapping mainstream AI to advance healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, education and countless other fields, driving economic growth and unlocking the potential of nations. Built on American technology, the adoption of AI around the world fuels growth and opportunity for industries at home and abroad.

That global progress is now in jeopardy. The Biden Administration now seeks to restrict access to mainstream computing applications with its unprecedented and misguided “AI Diffusion” rule, which threatens to derail innovation and economic growth worldwide.

In its last days in office, the Biden Administration seeks to undermine America’s leadership with a 200+ page regulatory morass, drafted in secret and without proper legislative review. This sweeping overreach would impose bureaucratic control over how America’s leading semiconductors, computers, systems and even software are designed and marketed globally. And by attempting to rig market outcomes and stifle competition — the lifeblood of innovation — the Biden Administration’s new rule threatens to squander America’s hard-won technological advantage.

While cloaked in the guise of an “anti-China” measure, these rules would do nothing to enhance U.S. security.  The new rules would control technology worldwide, including technology that is already widely available in mainstream gaming PCs and consumer hardware. Rather than mitigate any threat, the new Biden rules would only weaken America’s global competitiveness, undermining the innovation that has kept the U.S. ahead.

Although the rule is not enforceable for 120 days, it is already undercutting U.S. interests. As the First Trump Administration demonstrated, America wins through innovation, competition and by sharing our technologies with the world — not by retreating behind a wall of government overreach. We look forward to a return to policies that strengthen American leadership, bolster our economy and preserve our competitive edge in AI and beyond.
