Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has urged the U.S. government not to prohibit advanced Chinese artificial intelligence models, arguing that such restrictions would not help the United States maintain its competitive edge in the global AI race. Speaking in an interview with the Financial Times, Zuckerberg said blocking access to Chinese AI technology would be an ineffective strategy and could ultimately weaken innovation within the U.S. technology sector.
The Meta chief stressed that competition, rather than restrictive regulation, is essential for advancing artificial intelligence. According to Zuckerberg, preventing American developers and businesses from accessing cutting-edge Chinese AI models would not solve broader challenges related to AI leadership or technological progress.
Zuckerberg also warned against what he described as "regulatory capture" by leading U.S. frontier AI companies. He suggested that dominant AI developers could influence future regulations in ways that limit competition, making it harder for emerging companies to innovate and compete in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence market.
His comments come as governments worldwide continue to debate how best to regulate AI while balancing national security, technological leadership, and economic growth. Policymakers in the United States have increasingly examined the risks associated with foreign AI technologies, particularly those developed in China, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and concerns over data security.
The Meta CEO's position highlights a contrasting view that open competition and innovation are more effective than outright bans. He argued that restricting access to foreign AI models could reduce opportunities for American developers to learn from competing technologies and improve their own AI systems.
As the global race to develop advanced artificial intelligence intensifies, the debate over AI regulation, international competition, and the role of Chinese AI models is expected to remain a key issue for governments and technology companies alike.
Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours following the publication of the interview.
