CNN —The US government has imposed fresh export controls on the sale of high tech memory chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications to China. The rules apply to US-made high bandwidth memory (HBM) technology as well as foreign-produced ones. High bandwidth memory (HBM) are basically a stack of memory chips, small components that store data. Experts say the latest export restrictions will slow China’s development of AI chips and, at most stall, its access to HBM. Because AI applications require a lot of complex computing, such traits ensure that these applications run smoothly, without delays or glitches.
