ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
On this episode of EMBARGOED!, host Tim O'Toole, Miller & Chevalier Counsel Melissa Burgess and Collmann Griffin, and guest Chris Chamberlain of Morrison & Foerster continue their discussion of AI chip-related export controls, musing about Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) considerations, semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME), and the much-anticipated BIS release of a 50 Percent Rule for the Entity List.
Roadmap:
- May 13, 2025, BIS Policy Statement on training AI models
- Controls on SME and balancing foreign policy, national security, and other reasons for control under the EAR
- Not reasons for control: Economic and other factors BIS does not consider determinative when assessing controls
- Pros and cons of BIS having an OFAC-style 50 Percent Rule for the Entity List
