To counter national security risks, the Outbound Investment Security Program—stemming from an August 2023 Executive Order—now mandates notifications or outright bans on U.S. funding for sensitive sectors like semiconductors, quantum tech, and AI in "countries of concern" such as China. With built-in exemptions for allied nations and robust enforcement, it aims to stem technology leakage while fostering domestic innovation.
