Comprehensive plan to stop U.S. entities aiding China’s malign AI goals
Mandate says U.S. businesses aid Beijing’s AI ambitions by feeding datasets and providing high-powered cloud computing; the Administration should plan to stop U.S. entities from directly or indirectly contributing to China’s malign AI goals.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 28 (FCC) — National Security: stop aiding the CCP’s authoritarian approach to artificial intelligence; U.S. businesses are aiding Beijing—often unwittingly—by feeding, training, and improving AI datasets of CCP-beholden companies and by giving Beijing access to high-powered cloud computing; put in place a comprehensive plan to stop U.S. entities from directly or indirectly contributing to China’s malign AI goals.
Undo plan
1) Use export controls and outbound investment screening with clear technical thresholds—not open-ended ‘indirect contribution’ bans.
2) License ordinary cloud/academic collaboration that lacks military-civil fusion risk.
3) Coordinate Commerce BIS entity-list actions with allies to avoid leakage.
4) Publish guidance distinguishing civilian research from surveillance/military AI support.
5) Verify: BIS rules on AI compute/cloud; allied alignment.
