On July 7, according to Reuters citing three informed sources, Chinese authorities have held multiple meetings with top Chinese tech companies to discuss potentially restricting overseas users' access to China's most advanced AI models, including those not yet released.
Companies attending the talks include Alibaba, ByteDance, and Zhipu. According to two sources, at a meeting led by China's Ministry of Commerce, participants discussed restrictions on the most advanced AI models, including both closed-source and more open versions. One source said officials discussed making any leaking or stealing of proprietary AI technology a criminal offense under China's strict national security laws. The source added that officials also raised the possibility of implementing new measures to restrict who can invest in domestic AI startups.
According to two sources, the scope of potential restrictions is still under discussion, adding that these measures may only apply to future models. It remains unclear when these measures will take effect, or if they will at all.
According to two sources, Chinese authorities are deeply concerned about the possibility of Mythos exploiting software vulnerabilities and worry that the U.S. might use the model to harm China's interests. According to three sources, China has also launched investigations this year into Manus and other domestic AI startups that have moved overseas, to determine whether they have violated export control laws.
