Microsoft's president Brad Smith revealed that the tech company's deal with UAE-backed AI firm G42 might lead to transferring advanced chips and AI technology abroad, potentially raising national security concerns. The deal, involving crucial AI components like model weights, requires approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce, with measures in place to safeguard Microsoft's technology and prevent its use for Chinese entities. However, the closed-door negotiations have raised alarms among U.S. lawmakers for lacking transparency regarding U.S. technology transfers and guarding against Chinese espionage, emphasizing the need for a new legal framework to regulate AI technology exports.
