Investors are pouring capital into emerging technology companies, including many focused on artificial intelligence and related sectors. Policymakers in the United States and elsewhere are increasingly concerned about the national security implications of outbound investment, and specifically flows of U.S. capital into China’s tech sector. Some in Washington, DC are advocating for an investment security regime to address the national security risks associated with these outflows.
How much does U.S. capital support China’s technological ambitions in AI?
CSET researchers Emily Weinstein and Ngor Luong sought to answer this question by evaluating the size, frequency, and nature of U.S. investment in Chinese AI companies. On February 16, 2023, they provided an overview of their initial findings, followed by a moderated Q&A with Emily Kilcrease of CNAS.
