Decoupling America's Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025
The Decoupling America's Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025 would prohibit the import of artificial intelligence technology and intellectual property from China into the United States and ban the export of such technology from the United States to China. It would also prohibit U.S. persons from conducting AI research or development in China, for Chinese entities, or in collaboration with Chinese entities, as well as restrict U.S. financing of Chinese AI entities involved in China's military-civil fusion strategy, surveillance development, or human rights abuses. Violations could result in fines up to $100 million for organizations and $1 million for individuals, along with loss of federal benefits. The bill directly affects U.S. companies, researchers, and financial institutions engaged with Chinese AI entities, aiming to limit the transfer of AI capabilities between the two nations.
