Investing.com -- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has publicly expressed its support for measures to protect national security by preventing potential adversaries from acquiring advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. The tech giant highlighted the importance of such precautions in a recent blog post.

Microsoft also noted key elements in the Biden administration’s ’AI Diffusion Rule’ that it believes should be maintained. The AI Diffusion Rule, an interim final rule under the current administration, places many significant U.S. allies and partners in a category labeled ’Tier Two’.

In a message to the Trump administration, Microsoft urged the elimination of quantitative caps that could disrupt a well-functioning economic market. The company believes that such restrictions could potentially hinder market dynamics and economic growth.

The ’Tier Two’ categorization in the AI Diffusion Rule has raised concerns for Microsoft. The company suggests that this classification could undermine the confidence of American allies in their ongoing access to American products. This is a critical issue for Microsoft, as the company has a broad international market and maintaining good relations with its partners is paramount for its business operations.
