【funinusa.net comprehensive report].U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo announced this week that the U.S. will make a proposal, Reuters reportedPrevent foreign entities, especially Chinese entities, from using U.S. cloud computing for AI model training。Biden sees this as an effort to maintain U.S. technological superiority. At the same time, Chinese entities will still have access to services deployed in Europe and the Middle East.

Raimondo told Reuters: "We can't let non-state actors, China, or we don't want them to access our cloud to train their models." "We have export controls on chips," she noted. ”These chips are in cloud data centers in the United States, so we must also consider ways to shut down potentially malicious activity.

A key part of the move, known as "Know Your Customer," requires U.S. cloud computing companies to rigorously identify foreign users. This rule prevents entities in countries such as China from accessing U.S. cloud resources for AI development. Raimondo compared this to existing export controls on high-performance AI processors, such as Nvidia's H100, emphasizing the need to close potential channels for malicious activities using U.S. technology on U.S. soil. The move stems from a proposal made in October to block Chinese entities from accessing U.S. cloud technology. The proposed regulations impose significant liability on cloud computing companies. These companies must verify the identity of foreign customers, maintain user identification standards, and certify their compliance annually. This regulation is part of a larger strategy to ensure that U.S. cloud platforms are not used for potentially hostile AI development. At the same time, China sees it as a way to curb its own economic development. Part of the reason is that U.S. rules for certain entities to access the U.S. cloud are already in effect. In October, Joe Biden** issued an executive order requiring developers of AI systems that could pose a threat to the U.S.*** economy, public health, or safety to disclose their security test results to the U.S.** before making those systems available to the public. At least publicly, the industry has not reacted positively to these measures. Carl Szabo, general counsel of NetChoice, a tech industry group, criticized the implementation of the executive order as potentially illegal, arguing that it could hinder international cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence.
