WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced legislation to protect America’s artificial intelligence (AI) development from China.
“Every dollar and gig of data that flows into Chinese AI are dollars and data that will ultimately be used against the United States,” said Senator Hawley. “America cannot afford to empower our greatest adversary at the expense of our own strength. Ensuring American economic superiority means cutting China off from American ingenuity and halting the subsidization of CCP innovation.”
Senator Hawley’s new legislation comes after China unveiled “DeepSeek,” a data-harvesting, low-cost AI model that sparked international concern and sent American technology stocks plummeting.
Senator Hawley’s Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act would:
- Prohibit the import from or export to China of artificial intelligence technology;
- Prohibit American companies from conducting AI research in China or in cooperation with Chinese companies; and
- Prohibit U.S. companies from investing money in Chinese AI development.
