Regulating Frontier AI Development through the Control of AI Chip Usage

If governments could regulate the large-scale use of “AI chips,” that would likely enable governments to govern frontier AI development—to decide who does it and under what rules.

In this article, we will use the term “AI chips” to refer to cutting-edge, AI-specialized computer chips (such as NVIDIA’s A100 and H100 or Google’s TPUv4).

Frontier AI models like GPT-4 are already trained using tens of thousands of AI chips, and trends suggest that more advanced AI will require even more computing power.
