“I am alarmed that these deals announced by Donald Trump, which involve the most advanced AI-related semiconductors, have "national security threat" written all over them. Without clear and enforceable protections, I am worried that these chips will gradually end up in the hands of the Chinese Government and the Chinese Communist Party, given how cozy the Saudis and Emiratis have been with the Chinese. Recent history shows that when foreign countries end up with American-made chips, the Chinese Government, the CCP, and their related companies get ahold of these chips. No serious national security expert would tell you this is on the level. It not only threatens our security but also risks cannibalizing the U.S. build-out of AI. If we want to stay No. 1 in AI, which we all do, this is the wrong deal.”
