Western Regulators Take Aim at ChatGPT
Calls to pause the development of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and moves to ban their use due to data privacy concerns will likely slow down (but not stop) AI's growth, and they illustrate the regulatory challenges that governments will face as the industry progresses. AI research and deployment company OpenAI, which developed the AI chatbot ChatGPT that has remained viral since its release in November 2022, has come under intense scrutiny in recent days over how quickly it has rolled out new features without seriously considering security, regulatory or ethical concerns. On March 31, the Italian Data Protection Authority (DPA) ordered a temporary ban on ChatGPT and said it would open an investigation into OpenAI and block the company from processing data from Italian users. On March 30, the U.S.-based Center for AI and Digital Policy filed a complaint with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against GPT-4, the latest

The U.S., Japan and the Netherlands Mull New Restrictions on China's Tech Sector
While the United States is starting to have limited success in getting other countries to take a tougher line on China's tech sector, Washington will likely still make unilateral moves that go beyond any agreement it signs with other governments to target Chinese companies and further disrupt Beijing's tech ambitions. On Jan. 27, the United States reached a deal with the Netherlands and Japan to broaden the latter two countries' restrictions on exports of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China, including some of the immersion lithography machines produced by the Dutch firm ASML and Japanese firm Nikon, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden is allegedly also considering cutting off Chinese tech giant Huawei from all U.S. exports and U.S.-made technology, and has stopped approving licenses for companies to export to the company, according to separate reports published on Jan. 30 by Bloomberg and

China Eases Its Disruptive 'Zero COVID' Restrictions -- For Now
China's new COVID-19 management measures significantly ease burdens on individuals and businesses, boosting economic prospects and stemming the immediate risk of renewed lockdowns and protests, though they could reemerge over the next year. On Dec. 7, China's National Health Commission (NHC) released 10 new COVID-19 management measures, which include allowing asymptomatic and mild cases to isolate at home for seven days and close contacts to isolate at home for five days; not requiring regular testing for most people or health codes for most public venues; not blocking domestic travel except for to high-risk areas; not requiring testing for domestic and inbound travel; and isolating lockdowns to high-risk areas by building and apartment, not by community or street. It also forbade business and manufacturing disruptions in non-high-risk areas and the sealing shut of doors or other exits of buildings. In a Dec. 7 press conference regarding the changes, NHC spokesperson Mi

What the Midterm Results Mean for U.S. Foreign Policy
The United States' return to a divided Congress will significantly limit its response to more politically-charged foreign policy issues, like immigration and climate change. But the impact on Washington's approach to critical issues -- like containing China's influence and helping Ukraine fend off Russia's invasion -- will be more modest. The Nov. 7 midterm elections have left the United States with a divided government and Congress, with the Democratic Party retaining control of the Senate and the Republican Party gaining control of the House of Representatives. While Republicans performed below expectations, the overall outcome was largely expected, as such a split result has become typical in recent years after midterm elections.
