Citing national security concerns, the Commerce Department is proposing initiatives that could impose the government’s first regulatory regime for the use of artificial intelligence technology. Other cutting-edge technologies are also under consideration for enhanced export controls, according to a recently published advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR).
The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security controls the export of “dual-use and less sensitive military items” through export regulations, described in the Defense Production Act of 1950. These responsibilities include the Commerce Control List.
