US uses national security law to block advanced AI models, expert says
Political scientist Mark Corcoral discusses how the US uses national security law to block access to advanced AI models, framing it as a new form of "lawfare" for national security objectives.
Political scientist Mark Corcoral has examined the United States' strategy of using national security law to restrict access to advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models. Corcoral, a specialist in US security policy, characterizes this approach as a new application of "lawfare," where legal frameworks are deployed for national security objectives. His research, detailed in the book Le Droit en armes, explores the legal foundations that, for example, the Trump administration leveraged to temporarily block access to cutting-edge AI technologies from major developers. This method underscores an evolving trend of utilizing legal instruments to manage technological competition and perceived threats within the AI sector.
