The Commerce Department said it was sanctioning nine companies and institutions on grounds they were “complicit in human rights violations and abuses committed in China’s campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs” and others. Among the companies named is NetPosa , one of China’s most famous AI companies, whose facial recognition subsidiary is linked to the surveillance of Muslims in the country’s far west. It once harbored hopes of selling its technology in the United States.
The Commerce Department said it was adding the firms to its “entity list” which bars the companies and organizations from access to U.S. technology without specific U.S. government approval.
