US eyes restrictions on corporate use of Chinese AI models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The US government is reportedly seeking to curb American companies' use of Chinese-developed AI models, citing concerns that these models may promote Beijing's narratives and ideology. This move comes amid a reported increase in US firms adopting Chinese AI due to cost-effectiveness and comparable quality, with examples like Coinbase, Lindy, Airbnb, and Uber utilizing models such as GLM 5.2, Kimi 2.7, and DeepSeek.
