The U.S. government is scrutinizing Apple’s plan to work with Chinese tech giant Alibaba to release AI features in China, The New York Times reported. U.S. officials are worried the deal will help Alibaba improve its AI capabilities, broaden the reach of Chinese chatbots that censor information and deepen Apple’s exposure to Chinese regulations related to censorship and data, the newspaper said. The move comes as the U.S. attempts to contain China’s AI industry out of concern it might pose a threat to national security if it’s used to advance China’s military capabilities. However, Apple has little choice but to use the AI models of a Chinese firm if it wants regulatory approval to launch Apple Intelligence in China. The Information first reported that Apple and Alibaba were working together to roll out AI features in China and that the features already had been submitted for regulatory approval. However, Apple still hasn’t release the features, known collectively as Apple Intelligence, in China. https://www.nytimes.com/2.. #🇨🇳 ChinA.I. 🤖🧠🦾🤖
