According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, China is considering divesting from a Saudi Arabian artificial intelligence (AI) fund after the US raised concerns about the potential transfer of sensitive technologies. The fund, known as Alat, is backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and has investments from Chinese companies like Huawei and Alibaba. The US has requested that Saudi Arabia prevent the transfer of sensitive technologies to China through the fund. The move highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and China over AI and emerging technologies. The US has expressed concerns about China’s efforts to acquire cutting-edge AI capabilities, which could have military applications. The potential divestment by China could strain its relations with Saudi Arabia, a key ally in the Middle East. However, it remains unclear whether China will ultimately withdraw from the fund or if Saudi Arabia will comply with the US request.
