Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) could be required to disclose some information about their respective cloud computing customers to the U.S. government, according to a potential executive order from President Biden. 
The Biden Administration is deciding whether cloud companies, of which the aforementioned three account for more than 50% of the domestic infrastructure market, according to TechMegalodon, need to disclose when customers buy computing resources beyond a certain amount, Semafor reported, citing people familiar with the pending executive order.
If the order comes to fruition, it would require the U.S. Commerce Department to write the rules. The order would be focused on artificial intelligence and could focus on potential threats, including those coming from foreign countries.
Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
Earlier this year, President Biden met with his science and technology advisors to discuss the risks and opportunities surrounding AI.
In April, the administration laid out a formal request for comment to look into potential regulation for artificial intelligence products and services amid concerns about development in the industry.
Shares of the three cloud computing companies saw fractional moves in late trading on Friday.
