China prevents artificial intelligence experts from traveling to America

The Wall Street Journal reported, quoting well -informed sources, that the Chinese authorities have issued instructions to entrepreneurs and researchers in the field of artificial intelligence in the country, to avoid traveling to the United States. The newspaper said, the day before yesterday, that the authorities are concerned that the Chinese artificial intelligence experts traveling abroad may reveal secret information about the progress made by the country.

The newspaper added that the authorities are also afraid that the United States will hold executives for their use as a bargaining card in negotiations with China.

The White House, nor the Chinese State Council information office, did not respond to requests from Reuters to comment.
