Malaysia has implemented a new export control policy requiring individuals and companies to obtain permits at least 30 days in advance before exporting high-performance AI chips. Effective immediately, this measure signals a tightening of restrictions on chip exports, particularly those potentially destined for China. The move reflects growing international concerns regarding the use of advanced AI technology and its potential impact on national security and technological dominance. The new regulations are expected to impact the global supply chain for AI chips and may prompt other countries to consider similar restrictions.
