The AI deployments of Apple and Alibaba in China were postponed due to the trade war.

Apple and Alibaba's AI Deployment in China Delayed by Trade War

Plans by Apple and Alibaba to launch artificial intelligence services in China have been halted by Chinese regulators, with this technological cooperation becoming the latest casualty of Trump's trade war. The two tech giants have been collaborating to roll out Apple Intelligence, the iPhone maker's suite of AI services, for Chinese users. A number of AI products jointly developed by the two tech companies were submitted for approval to Chinese internet regulators this year. But two people familiar with the matter said their applications were put on hold at the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) due to increasing geopolitical uncertainties between the US and China. Despite CEO Tim Cook's efforts to win the support of the White House ahead of Trump's second term, Apple is still affected by the growing tensions between the US and China.
