US Republican lawmakers concerned over Microsoft-G42 AI deal, letter says

Republican lawmakers are seeking an intelligence briefing from the Biden administration regarding Microsoft's $1.5 billion investment in artificial intelligence firm G42, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Their concerns stem from the transfer of sensitive technology and G42's connections to China. The lawmakers requested the briefing prior to advancing the deal's second phase. G42 and Microsoft have yet to comment on the matter. The US is considering export controls on AI technology due to national security risks. The UAE and China have existing scientific research ties. The request also mentions G42's past digital surveillance work and its associations with Huawei and DarkMatter, which were involved in cyber espionage activities.
