U.S. Congress Introduces "Cloud Security Act" for AI Chip Export Controls

Congressmen Josh Gottheimer and John Moolenaar introduced the "Cloud Security Act" to address a loophole in U.S. export controls on advanced AI chips. The bill aims to allow cloud computing providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to voluntarily report suspected misuse of their services by customers associated with U.S. adversaries, who might otherwise rent access to restricted AI chips.
