According to the language of the proposed bill, people who download AI models from China could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.
How have prestigious publishers of journals that would be severely impacted by this, like IEEE, reacted? I’m no longer immersed in that ecosystem, but I believe that’d seriously disrupt international peer-reviewed publishing of AI research, or even development supply chains in general.
Imagine having to use a VPN to download a Chinese pip package. Or having the US meddle in mirrors of FOSS package repositories in their territory.

The whole thing sounds absolutely bonkers, I’m guessing there’s little chance of this bill actually going through.
