- Chinese regulators are considering tightening export controls on AI and semiconductor technologies in a bid to slow advanced tech exports, according to Financial Times sources.
- Regulators are consulting leading domestic AI companies as part of the deliberations over the proposed export curbs.
Why it matters: Chinese regulators are consulting domestic AI firms before finalizing tighter export curbs on AI and chip technology, meaning industry input is still shaping the policy. The deliberations cover both AI software and semiconductor technologies under one regulatory umbrella.
