China plans to include 23 artificial intelligence technologies in export controls

According to Bloomberg on October 16, China proposed to include advanced artificial intelligence technology in the export control list, which may restrict the overseas transfer of AI models and chips in order to implement stricter controls on domestic progress in this strategic field.

The draft covers 23 AI technologies, including large language models, intelligent agents, chip design, and computing power clusters. Restricted technologies include model weights and source code for products exceeding specific performance thresholds, with relevant policy texts available on the public page of the Ministry of Commerce of China.
