America—Israel AI Cooperation Act

This bill tells the Commerce Department to treat Israel like other trusted countries when it comes to exporting certain advanced computer chips used for artificial intelligence. It would add Israel to a list of places that can receive these chips under the same rules and exceptions those other countries already get, as the agency finalizes its AI export rule (called “Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion”).

In simple terms, it aims to make it easier and faster for U.S. companies to sell advanced AI chips to partners in Israel, under the same safeguards that apply to similar allies.

• Who is affected: U.S. chip makers, AI companies, and Israeli buyers and research partners.
• What changes: Israel would be added to the approved list so exports follow the same requirements and exceptions as for other listed countries.
• When: As the Commerce Department finalizes its AI export rule and makes the required update.
