Summary
The White House has enacted new export restrictions on American artificial intelligence technologies to protect national security and uphold U.S. dominance in AI innovation. Under these measures, companies like OpenAI and Microsoft may need government approval for international operations, which could disrupt global AI commerce and require different technology versions for domestic and foreign use. Kristof Horompoly from ValidMind noted that AI is now viewed as a national security issue, leading to increased export protectionism, particularly towards non-allied nations. These policies align with President Biden's National Security Memorandum on AI, which aims to maintain safe AI leadership, leverage its use for national security, and build international consensus on AI governance, alongside the establishment of the AI Safety Institute.
