The second proposed change is that cloud companies must determine if foreign entities are accessing U.S. data centers to train AI models. To prevent countries like China from using U.S. tech for AI, the administration has proposed a "know your customer" regulation. This would require cloud computing companies to verify the identity of foreign users and certify compliance annually.
Key takeaways:
- The Biden Administration is planning to implement new AI regulations on tech companies, requiring them to report activities to the government.
- The first rule involves using the Defense Production Act to require tech companies to inform the government when they train an AI model using significant computing power.
- Another proposed rule requires cloud companies to determine whether foreign entities are accessing U.S. data centers to train AI models, with a focus on preventing China and others from using U.S. tech for AI.
- The administration has published a proposal for a 'know your customer' regulation, which would require cloud computing companies to verify the identity of foreign users and certify compliance annually.
