Initially it seems like moving abroad would solve this problem, if the company is no longer based in the US, couldn’t it just make those models available to customers around the world and avoid having to comply with those restrictions? ​ I suspect the reality is more complicated than that, but I am not sure why. Do US export control laws continue to apply even after a company relocates? Are these restrictions tied to where the company is headquartered, or are they tied to the technology itself, where it was developed, and the people involved in building it? ​ In other words, if a major AI company genuinely wanted to avoid a restriction of this kind, would moving abroad be a realistic option, or would US law and export controls still follow the company and its technology in practice? ​ I would really appreciate any informed insights, thoughts or views on this. submitted by /u/Firm-Track3617
