AI Technology Is in the Crosshairs of National Security Restrictions -- Wiley Connect

This article is authored by Duane Pozza, Megan Brown, and Rick Sofield. The U.S. government is increasingly focused on competition between the United States and China in the development of artificial intelligence (AI), as a national security issue. The Administration has oriented its approach to AI to position the U.S. as a leader in AI development and standards, explicitly stating that it is working with its allies in opposition to China. Given the Administration's aggressive stance on trade restrictions with China in a variety of areas, one question facing industry is how AI technology will be regulated by the U.S. government. A recent report by the congressionally formed National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) provides some insights on how the Administration – and in particular the U.S. Department of Commerce – might approach AI technology protection.
