The Chinese UN envoy has stated that US restrictions on artificial intelligence investments in China are detrimental to the global development of AI technology.

The United States recently proposed bans or notifications on investments in AI sectors in China to protect US national security.

Chinese UN Ambassador Fu Cong expressed opposition after the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution promoting international cooperation on AI.

Fu argued that US actions undermine an inclusive business environment and could divide global standards and rules for AI.

The US Treasury's proposed rules follow an executive order from President Joe Biden aimed at restricting China's technological advancements.
