AI OVERWATCH Act

This bill would require the Commerce Department to require a license before certain advanced computer chips used in data centers, or products containing them, are exported or transferred to entities based in China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, or Venezuela under Maduro. Before approving any such license, the department would have to send Congress the application and certifications at least 30 days in advance, and Congress could block the license by passing a joint resolution. Existing licenses for these chips to these countries would be ended, and all new licenses would be denied until 14 days after a required national security strategy is sent to Congress. The bill would also let certain approved "trusted" U.S. companies send these chips to other countries without some license requirements, if they meet security and ownership standards.
