Washington DC – When the House Selection Committee on China holds its groundbreaking hearing, “Authoritarians and algorithms: Why should US AIs lead?” Committee leaders are publishing new bipartisan laws to face the expansion of CCP’s artificial intelligence.
Chairman John Mourenard (R-MI) and Ranking member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) announced today the introduction to the home. “There is no hostile AI law.”– A bipartisan law that is also defended by Senators Rick Scott (R-FL) and Gary Peters (D-MI). The bill prohibits US enforcement agencies from obtaining or using artificial intelligence developed by companies related to foreign enemies, such as the Chinese Communist Party. The House Act coexists by a bipartisan group of select committee members, including Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Darin Lahood (R-IL).
“We are in a new Cold War. AI is the strategic technology of the Center,” said Chairman Moolenaar. “CCPs are not innovated, they are stolen, scaled and overturned. From IP theft and chip smuggling to embedding AI into surveillance and military platforms, the Chinese Communist Party is competing to weaponize this technology.
What does hostile AI law do:
Create a public list The systems of AI systems developed by foreign enemies have been maintained and updated by the Federal Acquisition Security Council.Enforcement agencies are prohibited Excludes enemy-developed AI acquisition or use in narrow cases such as research, counter-terrorism, or mission-critical needs.Establish a listing process For businesses that can show that they are not dominated or influenced by foreign enemies.
“Artificial intelligence managed by foreign enemies poses a direct threat to national security, data and government operations,” said ranking member Raja Krishnamoorti.. “We cannot allow a hostile regime to incorporate code into the most sensitive systems. This bipartisan law creates a clear firewall between foreign enemy AI and the US government, protecting our institutions and Americans. China, Russia, and other enemy AI systems should not belong to government devices.
Senator Rick Scott said, “The communist Chinese administration will use every step necessary to spy, steal and undermine the United States. As AI technology advances, we must protect national security and stop hostile administrations from using technology against us. We will protect our direct threats to our national security and the sensitive data of the US government from the hands of our enemies.”
The law illustrates the key lawsuits in the Select Committee’s AI campaign aimed at securing the US AI supply chain, ensuring robust export restrictions, and preventing American innovation from fueling overseas authoritarian surveillance and military systems.
Today’s hearings and laws continue a series of new proposals, and the committee will unfold this summer to confront the exploitation of CCP’s US innovation and prevent American technology from fostering Beijing’s AI ambitions.
