Amazon Cloud Services Fueling China's AI Ambitions
Chinese Entities Exploit Amazon's Cloud for Advanced AI
Chinese entities affiliated with the state are increasingly using Amazon's cloud services, documents have revealed. These Chinese companies are allegedly gaining access to cutting-edge AI capabilities and restricted U.S. chips through Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Chinese Entities Capitalize on Cloud Gap
Chinese universities, companies, and other entities have been employing Amazon's cloud services to perform data processing. Chinese companies have found a loophole in U.S. law, allowing them to access advanced U.S. AI technology through AWS.
Lack of Chinese Response
Despite the revelation, Chinese entities such as Shenzhen University and Zhejiang Lab have not responded to inquiries. The U.S. government restricts the sale of advanced processors for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) to Chinese entities.
State-Backed Entities Leverage AWS
Chinese organizations, some with state affiliations, are exploiting cloud services like Amazon Web Services to access restricted U.S. technology. This raises concerns about national security and the potential misuse of AI.
