Plain Language Summary

# Decoupling America's Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to reduce U.S. dependence on China in artificial intelligence (AI) development and technology. If passed, it would likely establish restrictions on technology sharing, foreign investment, and trade relationships related to AI between the U.S. and China.

The bill also appears to address immigration and intellectual property issues connected to AI capabilities, suggesting it may control which foreign nationals can work on sensitive AI projects and strengthen protections for American AI innovations. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact AI companies, technology researchers, foreign investors (particularly from China), and potentially skilled workers in the tech sector. It could affect international business relationships in the AI industry and may influence which countries can access certain American technology or invest in U.S. tech companies. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it hasn't been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) in the 119th Congress, reflecting broader national security concerns about competition with China in advanced technology.
