Biden Targets Chinese AI Investments; Microsoft, Google Linked to Surveillance Tools
Nov 19, 2024, 02:24 PM
The Biden administration has implemented targeted restrictions on U.S. outbound investments in Chinese AI companies, focusing on those developing frontier AI models with a computational threshold of over 10^25 FLOPS. This policy aims to limit the growth of AI technology in China, particularly in areas that could enhance surveillance capabilities. However, former President Trump might adopt a more extensive approach, potentially broadening the scope of these restrictions. Meanwhile, documents reviewed by Rest of World reveal that Microsoft and Google have supported Chinese tech startups through their incubator programs, some of which provide policing and censorship tools to Chinese authorities. This raises questions about the ethical implications of such investments and the potential for these programs to be discontinued under increased scrutiny.
