I’m only stating what Anthropic and OpenAI are going to lobby for.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1067...

> All Information (Except Text) for H.R.10670 - China FIREWALL Act of 2026

> Official Title as Introduced To prohibit Chinese AI models from being used on government-issued devices or software systems, to prohibit the procurement of any such models, and for other purposes.

It’s not too far fetched to see this expanded to government contractors or even other private businesses which handle sensitive material in the future.

Not likely. Will be treated like tiktok for government devices. There is no legal way to prevent private people and business from using open source software unless you label it like csam or something where just distributing the file is a felony.
