The first group includes the U.S.’s strongest allies, like Japan and South Korea, which aren’t affected by the new restrictions. The second group includes countries like China and Russia. These countries already can’t buy advanced AI chips and will now face further restrictions under the new guidelines regarding most “closed” AI models.

The restrictions on this group of countries are meant to prevent adversaries like China and Russia from buying chips through them, but will also hurt the adoption of AI in these countries in the process
