New AI Export Control Framework

The Biden administration has introduced an interim final rule regarding the export control of artificial intelligence technologies, marking a significant policy shift in AI and geopolitics since the previous regulations in 2022. This framework aims to restrict advanced AI technology from reaching adversaries like China and Russia while ensuring that trustworthy allies can benefit from it. The rule acknowledges the rapid advancements in AI research, particularly referencing OpenAI's recent success in enhancing their model's performance significantly on benchmarks for artificial general intelligence. The administration views the creation of this policy as an essential response to the evolving landscape of AI capabilities that could shape global power dynamics.
