It would also ban the transfer of any AI models to China, so it would effectively criminalize the entire open-weight AI field in the US. This would effectively kill AI research in universities (it might even ban the release of academic papers on AI) and would wipe out most AI startups as well (as they rely on open weight releases to garner investment interest).

How many co-sponsors does the bill have? A lot of bills like this just die in committee.
