Mark Zuckerberg is not convinced if OpenAI and Anthropic really want Chinese AI models in America, says: Signal is …

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has entered the intensifying Washington debate over whether Chinese AI models should be restricted in the US, wanting that banning them would not be ‘an effective solution’. In an interview with Financial Times, Zuckerberg said the US should compete by identifying bottlenecks and roadblocks rather than blocking rivals outright. He also cautioned against ‘regulatory capture’ by American frontier labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which he suggested could use policy to throttle domestic competition. Zuckerberg’s remarks appeared to be a broadside against OpenAI and Anthropic, which dominate the chatbot market with proprietary closed models. He said there were “mixed signals” about whether frontier labs truly want open-source models to succeed. “Are the frontier labs going to want an open-source model to succeed? I think that there have kind of been some mixed signals on that,” he told the FT.
