Comment by House Select Committee on the CCP

Today, the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the Artificial Intelligence Oversight of Verified Exports and Restrictions on Weaponizable Advanced Technology to Covered High-Risk Actors (AI OVERWATCH) Act out of committee. The legislation strengthens export controls on advanced AI chips and enhances congressional oversight to prevent the flow of U.S. technology to our adversaries. The AI OVERWATCH Act would require licenses for the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of certain high-performance AI chips to countries of concern, while increasing transparency and accountability in the export licensing process.
