The US is right to target TikTok : Chinese control of a powerful ‘persuasive AI’ tool cannot be tolerated
ft.com/content/69caf324-2ac0-4b53-a0b4-1f2ecae6e29e
Quick Glance: The US is right to target TikTok
- The US House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly passed a bill to force divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent.
- This TikTok divestiture is about preventing a foreign adversary from controlling a platform to deploy what I call “persuasive AI”.
- TikTok is a tool that has proven so valuable that ByteDance is spending money hand over fist on an intimidation campaign.
- The proposed legislation targets TikTok’s foreign ownership, not its content, and does not violate the First Amendment of the US constitution.
