Beijing is looking at curbing overseas access to China's top AI models: Reuters
Officials discussed a tiered system for basic, advanced and frontier models, with the most sensitive systems barred from public release or restricted to domestic use.
- On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Chinese officials met with tech giants Alibaba, ByteDance, and Z.ai to discuss restricting overseas access to the country's most advanced artificial intelligence models.

- Historian Yuval Noah Harari describes this growing divide as the 'Silicon Curtain,' as China worries U.S. models like Anthropic's Mythos could exploit software vulnerabilities against Chinese interests.
