I have concerns about this section's impact on open source AI work: CHAPTER 124—RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT THAT BENEFITS THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. It feels like this could be a tool to force AI research to be closed source in the US, since Chinese entities like anyone can benefit from open source efforts.
