U.S. Blacklists Six More Chinese Firms for Acquiring AI Chips for Military and Drones for Russia

The United States has added six Chinese companies to an export blacklist accusing them of seeking to acquire AI chips for China’s military or helping to procure drones for use by Russia.

The companies were among 11 additions from China and Russia to the U.S. Commerce Department’s Entity List. Inclusion on the list requires American exporters to obtain a license before shipping goods or technology to the companies and such licenses are likely to be denied.
