    It is much worse. I hope I am reading it wrong, but:

    The term ‘‘technology’’ […] includes […] any semiconductor, circuit board, operating system, graphics processing unit, central processing unit, tenor processing unit, field-programmable gate array, random access memory, hard drive, solid-state drive, dataflow architecture, or cloud-computing service, that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, completed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence […] and any other hardware, software, equipment, device, component, robotic computer, processor, network […] that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence.

    This would mean that importing and exporting literally any piece of IT equipment, from a Ubuntu installer to a RAM chip, is illegal. Good luck & have fun.
