Rep Mast Introduces Overwatch Act Restricting Chip Exports

Rep. Brian Mast introduced the Overwatch Act to require the Commerce Secretary to produce a national-security strategy on chip exports and send AI-capable chip export applications to Congress for review. On Steve Bannon's War Room, Joe Allen said the bill would let Congress veto exports to adversaries such as China, North Korea and Venezuela to block AI-enabled weapons, though critics warn it could restrict Nvidia's China market access.
