    China plans to restrict exports of AI and solar technology, with 40 technologies included in a draft control list

    China plans to impose restrictions on the export of key technologies. A government draft lists 40 controlled technologies, 23 of which are AI applications, including methods for AI agents and large AI models. Twenty-six technologies will require export licenses, and 14 are proposed for a complete export ban, involving solar cell manufacturing processes and cell and gene therapy technologies; accessing AI through applications and websites, as well as already public AI technologies, is expected to remain available. The draft was proposed by the Ministry of Commerce and other departments, with public comments open until November 15, and registration obligations related to the transfer of relevant technologies have been in effect since last Friday.

    US Department of Homeland Security bans civilian government agencies from using DeepSeek

    The US Department of Homeland Security has ordered the removal of DeepSeek-related technology from most government systems, prohibiting civilian government agencies from using DeepSeek and any technology built with its models; the ban takes effect at the end of July, and agencies under the Department of Defense are not included. The report notes that DeepSeek said last year that training the initial version of its model cost about $6 million, while OpenAI's GPT-4-related costs were about $100 million, and that US companies such as Snowflake, Vercel, and OpenRouter have also integrated DeepSeek into their products.

    Prosecutors say former employee who installed recording device in OpenAI meeting room had Saudi government support

    A California court filing shows that Abdulrahman Alfozan, a Saudi former employee accused of secretly installing a recording device in an OpenAI meeting room, received "considerable support" from the Saudi government, and prosecutors say he maintained frequent contact with a member of the Saudi royal family. The device was found on September 30 plugged into the back of a television in the meeting room and covered with toilet paper. Alfozan was arrested by the FBI on October 9 and his contract was terminated. Judge Alex Tse denied bail on Monday, citing a significant risk that he would fail to appear; if convicted, he faces up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

    Indian Supreme Court proposes hash database and penalty framework to platforms for CSAM regulation

    In a 137-page order, the Indian Supreme Court declined to ban children from using social media or impose age-based restrictions, holding that internet access is a fundamental right guaranteed under Articles 21 and 19(1)(a) of the Constitution, while also proposing a regulatory framework for child sexual abuse and exploitation material (CSEAM/CSAM). The framework calls for a national database recording hashes and URLs of confirmed content, which could be built on the Sahyog portal, along with supporting processes including manual verification, an independent appeals channel, confirmation of reports within 24 hours, takedown within two hours, and reporting to bodies such as the SJPU. The court also recommended that the government consider fines beyond intermediary liability and the confiscation of revenue earned from disseminating such content through paywalls; the framework has not yet been implemented, and the government must submit an affidavit before the next hearing on December 10 explaining its progress.

    Microsoft exits Nscale's UK Essex AI data center project over power supply issues

    Microsoft has exited UK company Nscale's AI data center project in Loughton, Essex, due to power supply issues, and will no longer serve as the project's anchor tenant. The project was once called by the UK government the country's largest sovereign AI data center and was originally planned to open next year, but UK grid operator UKPN said it would not be able to provide sufficient power until the early-to-mid 2030s at the earliest. Nscale said it remains committed to the project, is exploring alternative power supply options such as on-site generation, and said its long-term partnership with Microsoft is unaffected.
