To facilitate the export of United States artificial intelligence systems, computing hardware, and standards globally.

# Summary of HR 6996 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to make it easier for U.S. companies to sell artificial intelligence (AI) systems and computer hardware to other countries. Currently, the U.S. government restricts exports of certain advanced technologies for national security reasons. This bill would streamline those restrictions to allow more AI technology and computing equipment to be exported globally, potentially giving American companies better access to international markets. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects U.S.

technology companies that develop AI and computer hardware, as well as their customers worldwide. It could also impact U.S. national security policies and relationships with other countries, since export controls are often used to prevent sensitive technology from reaching countries considered security risks. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The specific provisions and details of what restrictions would be changed are not yet publicly summarized.
