  • The U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday it is imposing new export controls on biotechnology equipment and related technology because of national security concerns tied to artificial intelligence and data science.

The U.S. is set to impose new export controls on advanced biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, aiming to prevent their use in ways that could threaten national security. These measures, announced by the Commerce Department, target the potential misuse of AI in creating biological weapons or enhancing surveillance capabilities by foreign adversaries. The controls will require licenses for exporting certain high-end computing chips, AI software, and biotechnology equipment, particularly to countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This move reflects growing concerns over the dual-use nature of these technologies, which can serve both civilian and military purposes. The initiative also seeks to safeguard U.S. technological leadership and prevent the proliferation of technologies that could undermine global security.
