The biggest ever loophole in U.S. AI chip export controls on China? With Chris McGuire

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

lundi 8 juin 2026 • Durée 01:08:19

For the first interview of the AI Power Podcast, Chris McGuire of the Council on Foreign Relations and formerly of the White House National Security Council for a conversation on AI and Semiconductor export controls. A shocking release of updated Commerce Department guidance reveals that it has not been enforcing U.S. export controls on sales of AI chips to international subsidiaries of Chinese companies for more than a year. The Commerce Department has moved quickly to close this loophole but left another one open that is just as big. Chris and Greg unpack what this means and where we go from here.

An NVIDIA AI Chip sales Whitelist, a bruising BIS hearing, and New York's data center freeze

Épisode 3

vendredi 17 juillet 2026 • Durée 39:34

NVIDIA has quietly cut more than half its authorized Asian customers, building a new whitelist to keep advanced AI chips from reaching China through third countries. Gregory C. Allen and co-host Adam Goodwin dig into what that reversal says about years of NVIDIA denials, the firm's Washington overhaul under new external-affairs chief Bruce Andrews, and a striking claim from inside China that every chip it can make — "even those lower grade chips that no one wanted before" — is now sold out.

Then: BIS Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler's testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where a bipartisan lineup — Chairman Brian Mast, Bill Huizenga, ranking member Gregory Meeks, Keith Self, and Young Kim — dogpiled Commerce over stalled rulemaking, policy-by-private-letter, and the unenforced foundry due-diligence rule that lets Chinese front companies make chips at TSMC and Samsung. Finally, Governor Kathy Hochul's first-in-the-nation moratorium on data center construction, and why it may be less a crackdown than a political needle-thread over a build-out New York is already losing to Texas and Virginia.

(00:10) Cold open — remembering Senator Lindsey Graham
(04:55) NVIDIA's customer whitelist and the China chip-smuggling problem
(13:50) Jeffrey Kessler's bipartisan roasting at the BIS oversight hearing
(28:40) New York's data center moratorium and the politics of the AI build-out

Licensing AI, the Memory Crunch, H200s to China & Is It a Bubble? — with Adam Goodwin

Épisode 2

lundi 13 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:11:55

In the span of eighteen days this summer, the Commerce Department gave Anthropic ninety minutes to pull its two most powerful models offline — and then quietly let them back on. How did we end up with a de facto AI licensing regime without anyone actually passing one? For the first episode of The AI Power Podcast, Greg sits down with Adam Goodwin — former Senate staffer, Greg's old colleague from Blue Origin, and now president of Goodwin Strategies — for a wide-ranging tour of the AI policy stories that actually matter right now. They dig into the Mythos and Fable shutdown and Project Glasswing; whether OpenAI's cooperation (and rumored 5% government stake) means Washington is licensing AI in all but name; the DRAM shortage now pushing up the price of your next iPhone; China's memory champions and the fight over letting Apple buy CXMT chips; why Beijing suddenly wants those NVIDIA H200s after all; the morale crisis inside the Bureau of Industry and Security; the trillion-dollar bull-and- bear case on an AI bubble; how Chinese distillation of American models threatens the whole business model; and the coming "SaaSpocalypse."

Chapters:
00:00 – Meet Adam Goodwin
1:18 – 90 minutes to shut down: Mythos, Fable & Project Glasswing
06:33 – Is Washington licensing AI in all but name?
11:03 – The DRAM shortage and the $200 price hike

China's homegrown DUV lithography breakthrough and the debate over banning China's open-source AI

Épisode 5

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 56:33

Two big stories this week. First, a bombshell report from The Information claims a Shanghai company has begun manufacturing immersion DUV lithography machines — the equipment China has spent two decades trying to build for itself. Greg and co-host Adam Goodwin unpack what "immersion DUV" is, why five machines this year is both respectable and decades behind ASML, and the buried detail that may matter most: the Japanese components quietly helping China claim self-sufficiency. Greg argues the real prize isn't new machines but China's growing ability to service its huge installed fleet — and why every day BIS delays burns leverage the U.S. won't get back.

Then: the Trump administration goes on record about Chinese open models — the Kratsios and Bessent statements accusing Moonshot AI of distilling Anthropic's Fable, the GB300 smuggling angle, Beijing's "AI hegemonism" rebuttal, and where the MATCH Act stands. It closes on the open-source debate itself: Dario Amodei's response to the NVIDIA–OpenAI–Google letter, and why the real question isn't open versus closed but what safety testing should apply past a certain capability threshold.

Chapters:
(00:00) Cold open & the week's two big stories
(01:02) What immersion DUV lithography actually is — and why it matters
(05:46) Why China wants to build these machines itself: chips as the new oil
(09:11) A decades-old goal: Made in China 2025 and the roots of indigenization
(13:19) Five machines this year — is that a big number? ASML for context
(18:15) China's disinformation campaign vs. real scoops, and the Japanese-components problem
(24:09) The spare-parts endgame: servicing the installed fleet as the real prize
(30:19) BIS Under Secretary Kessler's testimony and "incomplete" allied cooperation
(36:57) The MATCH Act, the foreign direct product rule, and the NDAA path
(39:51) Kratsios and Bessent on Moonshot AI, Kimi K3, distillation & GB300 smuggling
(45:32) China's Ministry of Commerce hits back: "AI hegemonism"
(53:31) How industry is reacting — the letters, and who signed which

MORE AI Cyber and Bio, Chinese Models, and a U.S. Regulatory Scramble

Épisode 6

samedi 8 août 2026 • Durée 01:15:35

AI Risks in Cyber and Bio, Chinese Models, and US Framework

Three frontier labs have now disclosed that their models broke out of evaluation environments and hacked real companies. Greg and co-host Adam Goodwin work through what OpenAI revealed at Black Hat — agents leaving notes for each other for months, describing themselves as a "collective," rebuilding their message board after safety staff shut it down — plus Anthropic's three real breaches buried in 141,000 evaluation runs and Meta's admission that the same thing happened to it. Every incident traces back to the same testing vendor. Greg reaches for Admiral Hyman Rickover and the nuclear navy to explain why that's beside the point.

Then the story he finds more alarming. Stanford and the Arc Institute used a biological foundation model to generate 700,000 candidate genomes, 16 of which became working viruses that had never existed on Earth. Greg explains why the select agents list cannot screen for organisms nobody has imagined yet, and why the grandchild of this research is his most plausible candidate for Doomsday. Plus DeepSeek V4 Flash at three cents a task, a leaked investor call putting China six to eighteen months behind on one-twentieth the compute, and what the White House's unpublished AI framework concedes about the export controls.

Chapters:

(00:59) What OpenAI disclosed at Black Hat: agents left notes for each other for months
(09:55) Anthropic's log review: three real breaches in 141,000 evaluation runs
(17:20) UK AISI strips the safeguards — 19 unsanctioned actions in 10 of 122 runs
(22:57) Meta becomes the third lab to breach a real company mid-test
(24:47) Is Irregular at fault? Rickover, the nuclear navy, and 100% responsibility
(33:41) Stanford and the Arc Institute use AI to build 16 working viruses
(37:07) DNA synthesis screening, the select agents list, and the doomsday scenario
(53:25) Qwen 3.8 Max, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and the leaked DeepSeek investor call
(1:02:17) The White House voluntary framework and the exemption for open models
(1:09:32) Does the framework concede the export controls' goal failed?

Is China Entering the Global Memory Supply Chain?

Épisode 7

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 36:20

Chinese memory maker CXMT is on track for roughly 10% of the global DRAM market, and HP, Asus, and Acer have reportedly begun shipping notebooks built with its chips. Adam Goodwin and Greg explain why memory behaves like a commodity, why bit density determines both performance and cost, and how a three-firm market led by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron ended up short on supply. They trace CXMT's position to equipment bought ahead of anticipated export controls, a validated end user license granted on 18-nanometer claims that Tech Insights reverse engineering puts at 16 nanometers, and CHIPS Act funding that went largely to logic rather than memory.

The second half covers Reuters reporting that Korean memory chip giants Samsung and SK Hynix have tested AMEC etching tools for their China fabs, which both companies decline to fully deny, along with the state of Chinese etch equipment and a Council on Foreign Relations proposal that fabs be made to choose between U.S. and Chinese tools.

Chapters

1. DRAM and memory Overview (00:10 - 09:18)

2. Existing memory market and CXMT’s rise (09:18 - 13:05)

3. Why firms are turning to CXMT, why is Chinese memory an option, and export controls (13:05 - 19:03)

4. Chinese subsidies, and Congress and Apple are pulling in opposite directions (19:03 - 22:26)

5. Furnishing Korean fabs in China and tension with U.S. government (22:26 - 30:35)

6. Chinese etch tools are still behind, and Washington may force a choice between toolsets (30:35 - 33:10)

OpenAI slows training, Taiwan gets AI-hacked, toxic data center politics

Épisode 8

samedi 22 août 2026 • Durée 53:48

OpenAI pauses its own training (00:10 – 21:38)
Labs have delayed releasing models before; OpenAI's August 17 post is the first time one slowed down building one — a two-week pause on RL training, its largest frontier run on hold.

An autonomous AI attack on Taiwan's nuclear safety agency (21:38 – 26:03)
Israeli firm Dream's August 12 report — four days, 1,395 files, 85 cracked credentials, thousands of personnel records, and Chinese-language code-switching in the operational documentation.

500,000 NVIDIA H200s headed for China (26:03 – 34:16)
Talent, smuggling, distillation, and holes in the rules — then Beijing's H200 reversal, roughly 500,000 chips bound for Chinese buyers, and NVIDIA's next China-specific design.
