U.S. House of Representatives Plans to Impose Sanctions on Chinese and Russian Entities That Improperly Replicate U.S. AI Models
According to Bloomberg, Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives are advancing a bill that would require the U.S. government to identify Chinese and Russian entities that extract outputs from leading U.S. AI models through improper queries and copying techniques—and then use those outputs to develop competing systems—and to consider imposing sanctions on them. As outlined in the draft bill reviewed, proposed measures include adding violators to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Entity List and pursuing sanctions under the President’s emergency economic powers granted by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977.
