Artificial intelligence & export controls: Navigating current and potential restrictions

25 September 2023

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries and global markets, policy makers around the world are considering laws and regulations to harness its benefits and continue protecting national security. In that context, export controls have become an essential tool in preserving U.S. leadership in AI and restricting AI uses that are perceived to threaten U.S. national security.

At Hogan Lovells’s inaugural International Trade and National Security Summit, Stephen Propst, a partner in our International Trade and Investment group, and partner Mark Brennan, who leads our global Technology and Telecommunications industry sector group, had a discussion regarding the technology and national security landscape surrounding the rapid development of AI. The panel addressed the current state of export controls applicable to AI technologies, the challenges associated with crafting effective but narrowly tailored controls in this rapidly evolving area, and what to expect going forward.
