The U.S. government’s AI Action Plan and related policy measures make it clear that artificial intelligence (“AI”), high-performance computing (“HPC”), and advanced chips exports will remain under the highest scrutiny for national security risks. The policy objective is twofold: preserve U.S. technology and economic leadership while preventing diversion, espionage, and prohibited uses of critical U.S. chips and technology.
With advanced AI chip exports planned for the Middle East region—through AI hubs and campuses, hyperscalers’ data centers, and sovereign cloud initiatives—organizations face a dual challenge: enabling innovation at scale while maintaining compliance with U.S. export controls, sanctions, and security requirements that are often embedded within U.S. export authorizations.
FTI Consulting’s Export Controls, Sanctions & Trade (“ECST”) practice, leveraging the capabilities of our national security and cybersecurity teams, helps clients address this challenge by embedding right-sized and risk-based controls across the full lifecycle of advanced U.S. AI chips’ exports. With decades of relevant experience and a market-leading multidisciplinary team, we support hyperscalers, data center operators, and generative AI companies in developing and deploying full-stack AI control packages aligned with emerging U.S. regulatory expectations.1
How We Can Help
Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, FTI Consulting builds bespoke modular, risk-tiered controls that scale with each project, which could include:
- Designing secure export compliant architecturesfor sovereign AI cloud platforms.
