US Considers Regulating Frontier AI Development

Published on 4.11.25

  The US government is considering preempting state laws on the training, deployment, and testing of frontier AI models to address concerns about China's advancements in this field. This move aims to regulate AI development and ensure that the country maintains its lead in the field. Oliver Roberts Holtzman Vogel suggests that a federal framework is necessary due to China's rapid development of AI systems without such a framework in place. Chinese companies have developed advanced AI models, including DeepSeek R1, a lightweight AI model developed in just two months with a budget of less than $6 million. The lack of a federal framework in the US has raised concerns about China's advancements in AI, which could pose a risk to national security. The US government is taking a similar approach as Switzerland, where export controls have been expanded to include dual-use goods related to emerging technologies such as quantum computing and additive manufacturing.
