The Biden administration is reportedly considering imposing restrictions on China's access to advanced AI models in an effort to protect U.S. AI technology. The Department of Commerce is exploring regulating the export of proprietary or closed source AI models. This move would complement previous measures aimed at preventing the export of sophisticated AI chips to China. However, the rapidly evolving nature of the AI industry poses a challenge for regulators. The proposed restrictions have been criticized by the Chinese Embassy as "economic coercion." Concerns are raised about the potential misuse of AI models by U.S. adversaries for cyber attacks or the development of biological weapons. The regulatory proposal is still under discussion, highlighting U.S. efforts to address China's AI ambitions.

The US Justice Department's top antitrust official has warned tech companies working with artificial intelligence to fairly compensate artists, entertainers, and creators or face potential action. Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter emphasized that without fair compensation, there would be no incentive for creators to continue producing work. This concern has been fueled by rising tensions between AI companies and artists, with lawsuits filed over the use of creative works to train models. Kanter cautioned that monopolizing creative works is monopolization, regardless of AI involvement, and the department is closely monitoring the industry.
