US lawmakers raise worries about China in Microsoft deal with Emirati AI firm G42

US lawmakers have expressed concerns about Microsoft's $1.5 billion investment in artificial intelligence (AI) firm G42. They are worried about the transfer of sensitive technology and G42's ties to China, urging the Biden administration for an intelligence assessment. Republican lawmakers want a briefing on the deal before it progresses to involve the transfer of export-restricted semiconductor chips and model weights. They have also raised concerns about the lack of regulations around the export of sensitive AI models and the potential for companies like G42 to share technology with US adversaries like China.
