The ENFORCE Act amends existing export control laws to give the President authority to restrict the sale and transfer of advanced artificial intelligence systems and other critical technologies to foreign adversaries. The legislation defines "covered artificial intelligence systems" as AI tools that could enable weapons development, automated cyberattacks, or circumvent human oversight, and requires Commerce Department licenses for Americans anywhere in the world who want to export, transfer, or support these technologies. The Secretary of Commerce has one year to issue detailed regulations defining what qualifies as a covered AI system, working with State, Defense, and Energy departments to establish criteria based on national security needs. This bill affects technology companies, researchers, and any U.S. persons involved in developing or exporting advanced AI capabilities, while also updating the government's emergency economic powers to align with these new export controls. The legislation contains no specific funding amounts or sunset dates, leaving implementation details to federal agencies.
