China has proposed export controls on 23 AI technologies. Exporters must register covered transfers now, before China decides on the final rules. This edition covers 5 evidence-backed stories…
China requires a EI export registration while proposed controls remain under review.
China opened a consultation on October 16th about adding 40 technologies to its export control catalogue.
The proposal covers 23 EI technologies including models, agents, computing clusters and information processing.
It also covers 5 biomedical technologies and 12 solar technologies.
The changes aren't final, but exporters must already register listed technology transfers before export.
That includes transfers that have started but aren't finished.
The consultation closes November 15th.
The Commerce Ministry draws a line between transferring technology and giving someone access to a model.
The proposed large model rules don't cover access through APIs, websites, apps or software services.
Some overseas deployments would still face controls, with easier licensing in certain cases.
Technology already made public through open source or papers is also excluded.
The Ministry says some future open source releases would receive automatic licenses.
The final catalogue will show which technologies China controls, while the overseas deployment rules will determine which transfers need approval.
The consultation ends November 15th.
