Senate Democrats push AI chip export control bills ahead of Trump-Xi summit

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, introduced a trio of bills to restrict China's access to U.S. AI chips and manufacturing equipment ahead of a Trump-Xi summit. The push also included a separate bill from Sen. Bernie Sanders to ban 'superintelligence.' The legislation was framed as a message to President Trump as he prepared to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
