According to Chinese media, China aims to catch up with the US in AI development and has approved more than 40 AI models for public use in the first six months after authorities started the approval process. Reuters: Chinese regulators last week approved a total of 14 large-scale language models (LLMs) for public use, the state-run Securities Times reported. This is the fourth approval granted by China, which includes Xiaomi, 4Paradigm and 01.AI. Last August, the Chinese government began requiring tech companies to obtain regulatory approval to make LLMs available to the public. This highlighted China's approach towards developing AI technology, striving to bring it under its jurisdiction and control.
The Chinese government approved the first batch of AI models in August, shortly after the approval process was adopted. Baidu, Alibaba and ByteDance were among the first companies to receive approval in China, with Chinese regulators giving approval for two more batches in November and December, with another batch given the green light this month. It was done. Although the government has not revealed the exact list of approved companies that can be used for official checks, the Securities Times reported on Sunday that more than 40 AI models have been approved.
