Microsoft's deal with UAE-backed AI firm G42 could involve the transfer of advanced chips and tools, raising national security concerns. The deal may move into a second phase where key components of AI technology, such as model weights, are exported. US officials believe that AI systems pose a significant national security risk due to potential misuse by foreign entities. The deal would require approval from the US Department of Commerce, but concerns have been raised regarding the lack of transparency and safeguards protecting sensitive US-origin technology. Legislation has been advanced to give US officials more power in restricting AI technology exports.
