WASHINGTON - The Biden administration is poised to open up a new front in its effort to safeguard U.S. AI from China with preliminary plans to place guardrails around the most advanced AI Models, the core software of artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT, sources said.
Currently, nothing is stopping U.S. AI giants like Microsoft-backed OpenAI, Alphabet's Google DeepMind and rival Anthropic, which have developed some of the most powerful closed source AI models, from selling them to almost anyone in the world without government oversight. That computing power threshold could become the basis for determining what AI models would be subject to export restrictions, according to two U.S. officials and another source briefed on the discussions. They declined to be named because details have not been made public.
As the Biden administration looks at competition with China and the dangers of sophisticated AI, AI models"are obviously one of the tools, one of the potential choke points that you need to think about here," said Peter Harrell, a former National Security Council official."Whether you can, in fact, practically speaking, turn it into an export-controllable chokepoint remains to be seen," he added.
But so far it hasn't addressed the AI models themselves. Alan Estevez, who oversees U.S. export policy at the Department of Commerce, said in December that the agency was looking at options for regulating open source large language model exports before seeking industry feedback.
