Artificial intelligence is ripping up the rulebooks of industries and sectors in real time.<\/p>\n

David Plotinsky, partner at Morgan Lewis, said the national security rulebook in the United States is one of them.<\/p>\n

If a foreign company wanted to acquire a U.S. business, regulators stepped in to determine whether sensitive technologies might fall into the wrong hands, with mechanisms like the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and Team Telecom that focused heavily on ownership structures.<\/p>\n
