US government website used Chinese model the FBI called "malicious"

# US Government Accidentally Used a Chinese AI Tool the FBI Says Is Suspicious A US government website quietly added a Chinese AI search tool made by Alibaba to help people search federal documents, but removed it this week after people noticed the contradiction—the FBI had just publicly accused Alibaba of illegally copying American AI technology to help China catch up in the AI race. The National Archives, which runs the Federal Register website, hasn't explained why they chose this tool or how long it was actually being used. This incident highlights the complicated reality that even government agencies sometimes use foreign AI products while the US government is simultaneously warning about the risks those same products pose.
