WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday it is imposing new export controls on biotechnology equipment and related technology because of national security concerns tied to artificial intelligence and data science.

Washington has raised concerns that China could use U.S. technology to strengthen military capabilities and help design new weapons through AI. The department said the laboratory equipment could be used for “human performance enhancement, brain-machine interfaces, biologically-inspired synthetic materials, and possibly biological weapons.”
