China on Wednesday hit out at US Vice President J D Vance's caution to global leaders against striking deals with “authoritarian regimes” on Artificial Intelligence saying that it is opposed to drawing lines on AI accessibility on ideological lines and politicising trade and tech issues.
In a thinly veiled jibe at China while speaking at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in France on Tuesday, Vance cautioned that AI deals with authoritarian regimes may chain nations to an “authoritarian master.”
Responding to questions on Vance’s comments, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told a media briefing here: “We are against drawing lines along ideological differences, overstretching the concept of national security, or politicising trade and tech issues.”
