Summary
The SCALE Act directs the Secretary of Commerce, working with the Director of National Intelligence, to create a yearly process that determines which high‑performance chips can be sold abroad and to whom. It establishes metrics to gauge foreign AI‑hardware capabilities, requires regular reports to Congress, and sets export‑denial thresholds based on those assessments. The goal is to keep U.S. leadership in AI hardware while preventing adversaries from building comparable capacity.
