Today is January 9, 2024, and here are the key policymaker and stakeholder actions on AI you need to know: In Washington, a congressional committee wants the Department of Commerce to consider export controls for G42, a UAE-based AI company, due to its links with China. In Maryland, Gov. Wes Moore (D) signed an executive order regulating the use of AI by state government. Across the pond, EU competition authorities are examining the relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft, which could lead to a more formal investigation. Meanwhile, OpenAI pushed back against The New York Times’ lawsuit against the company, calling the lawsuit’s claims “without merit.”
