Should the U.S. government let Sequoia fund Chinese AI?
Posted byJessica E. Lessin
The Information
This is an incredibly complex question raised by Juro's amazing reporting today. Sequoia is backing one of the leading researchers in China AI. I can't imagine this won't face scrutiny from the U.S. government right now. What do you think should happen?
