On the day Xi Jinping emphasized 'AI infrastructure'... China pushes for export control on 40 technologies including AI
China has restricted the export of key artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to protect its domestic industry and national security. The country's Ministry of Commerce and Science and Technology Ministry have added 40 technologies, including 23 AI-related ones, to a list of restricted or banned exports. The move may impact Chinese companies' ability to expand abroad through open models, but they will still be allowed to provide AI services to foreign users through the internet or mobile apps.
The restrictions come as China seeks to boost its domestic AI capabilities and amid intensifying tech competition with the US.
