The advanced AI models of OpenAI and Alphabet Inc.'s Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) are reportedly being sold to Chinese tech giants previously blacklisted by the Pentagon.
Google and OpenAI have confirmed their provision of AI services to Singapore-based subsidiaries of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA), Baidu Inc.
(NASDAQ:BIDU), and Tencent Holdings (OTC:TCEHY), according to the Financial Times on Friday.
These Chinese firms have previously been accused by the U.S. government of having ties with China's military.
OpenAI told the publication that it suspended API access for Alibaba-affiliated users last month over suspected misuse.
