ByteDance Building Out Artificial Intelligence Team in US

ByteDance, the Chinese tech company behind TikTok, is expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) team in the United States. The company is hiring for nearly 100 open positions within its AI division, indicating its intent to compete with leading US-based AI companies. This move comes despite the longstanding national security concerns expressed by American lawmakers and regulators regarding ByteDance's operations in the US. The company has faced scrutiny over TikTok's data practices and the potential influence of the Chinese government. The expansion of ByteDance's AI team in the US suggests the company's ambition to develop cutting-edge AI technologies and compete with American tech giants in this field. However, the decision may face additional regulatory hurdles and political opposition due to the ongoing tensions between the US and China regarding technology and national security.
