Major foreign media outlets reported on the 8th (local time), citing multiple sources, that the U.S. Department of Commerce is considering new regulations to restrict the export of so-called 'closed source' AI models, whose training data is kept confidential.

At present, there are no regulations that can block the sale of AI technologies developed by big tech companies such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft (MS), and Google. Experts express concerns that AI technology, which utilizes vast amounts of data to summarize information and produce content, could be used for cyberattacks by U.S. adversaries.

This regulation is expected to complement the export controls implemented over the past two years to prevent China from acquiring advanced U.S. AI semiconductors for military purposes.

However, sources said that the restriction measures have not yet been finalized. Regarding this, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. have not made any statements, according to foreign media reports.
