The US senator has suggested a bill that can illegally download and use Chinese artificial ielligence in the United States. Of course, the bill is still far from being approved, but if approved, it can have heavy consequences for offenders.
According to The Register, American senator Josh Hawley has suggested a bill to “ban American people from advancing artificial ielligence capabilities in the People’s Republic of China.” In other words, anyone who eers China’s “technology or iellectual property” in China or deal with Chinese technology companies will be found guilty and imprisoned for 20 years; It may also face a $ 1 million fine (for natural persons) or $ 100 million (for companies).
Of course, the bill is still in the early stages, but analysts say that the proposed law, if passed, can effectively make the use of Deepseek within the United States.
The new US bill to deal with Deepseek
The bill has not yet been approved, but its suggestion suggests that US lawmakers are increasingly concerned about Deepseek’s artificial ielligence, according to the Washington Post. Earlier, Josh Hawali asked the new Minister of Commerce to iensify the export corol of chips to China. In a letter, he argued that if the Biden governme was faster to execute export corols on NVIDIA chips, Dipsic would not have trained its advanced R1 artificial ielligence model.
Now Hawali has suggested that in its bill to impose a clear boundary between US and China artificial ielligence technology, in China’s artificial ielligence research, the transfer of iellectual ownership related to artificial ielligence or investme in Chinese artificial ielligence companies be banned by US individuals and institutions.
These bans are not only about the export of artificial ielligence infrastructure, such as semiconductors or iellectual property, but also on the import of artificial ielligence technologies and iellectual property technologies from China and can also include downloading Chinese models. However, how such a law enforceme is still unclear.
Americans who violate these laws are subject to penalties set forth under Section 1760 of the 2018 Export Corol Reform Act, including criminal penalties of up to 20 years in prison and $ 1 million.
The bill also offers penalties for US companies that are being transferred or investigated in China. Violators will be fined up to $ 100 million, and any licenses, coracts, financial assistance or public ierest that federal agencies had graed. In addition, the employees of these companies will be subject to a fine of up to $ 1 million.
