U.S. AI Tech Flowing to Blacklisted Chinese Firms | US News
Description
Major U.S. AI giants like OpenAI and Google are quietly supplying cutting-edge AI tech to Chinese firms—many blacklisted by the Pentagon—through subsidiaries of Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent operating in places like Singapore. OpenAI caught one Alibaba affiliate trying to “distill” its models and cut them off, citing concerns about autocratic control while defending access based on misuse, not nationality. Google offers services in Hong Kong and Singapore with strict misuse policies, arguing geographic bans won’t stop determined users. Anthropic has gone further, outright banning Chinese companies from its advanced AI. Experts warn this undermines U.S. AI leadership and call for stronger export controls—mirroring chip restrictions—to level the playing field and protect American dominance in the AI race.
