The Biden administration is proposing requiring U.S. cloud companies to determine whether foreign entities are accessing U.S. data centers to train AI models, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Friday. ""We can't have non-state actors or China or folks who we don’t want accessing our cloud to train their models,"" Raimondo said in an interview with Reuters. ""We use export controls on chips,"" she noted. ""Those chips are in American cloud data centers so we also have to think about closing down that avenue for potential malicious activity."" The Biden administration is taking a series of measures to prevent China from using U.S. technology for artificial intelligence, as the burgeoning sector raises security concerns. The proposed ""know your customer"" regulation was released on Friday for public inspection and will be published on Monday. ""It is a big deal,"" Raimondo said.
