      SenseTime won the ImageNet competition in 2016. They set up a ‘smart policing’ joint venture to provide surveillance technology for Xinjiang in 2017, but sold their stake earlier this year, as it may put off foreign investors as they had plans for an IPO.https://twitter.com/hardmaru/status/948489026205466624 …

      The author visited SenseTime, a facial recognition startup in China that won ImageNet 2016. In Xi Jinping’s China, where social order is valued over the rights of the individual, there are few debates about data privacy and policing. ML is casually deployed to stop petty crimes. pic.twitter.com/JB63bT6bhO

      I feel this story is important, because these firms have deep connections with international research and investment communities. See: MIT CSAIL partners with SenseTime, iFlyTek providing tech for Xinjiang https://www.reddit.com/r/mit/comments/d7dpf6/mit_partners_with_companies_providing_technology/ … Sensetime gets out of JV https://www.ft.com/content/38aa038a-5f4f-11e9-b285-3acd5d43599e …pic.twitter.com/P0mItCGKU5

      The immediate impact likely won’t be huge. Companies have stockpiled US components and can replace them. For the AI companies, this will more likely be a reputational issue that could hit their talent recruitment, overseas sales, and university partnerships.

      In addition to blacklisting companies, Chinese government officials involved in Xinjiang are also being targeted by the U.S.pic.twitter.com/yt2A993V4X

      My take is that if you are an academic researcher working on computer vision, speech, NLP, etc., it’s going to become increasingly more difficult to isolate yourself and your lab from ethical and human rights concerns, and also that these issues are used as geopolitical tools.

      The new reality is that people will not only be reading your research for pure technical contributions, but will also look at your funding sources, collaborators and motivation. This scrutiny will not only happen in the US. See recent examples also in the UK and Australia.pic.twitter.com/Xanaooa5r3

      Answering my question earlier on, @GoldmanSachs is now evaluating its role in the Megvii IPO after the blacklist. Goldman, Citi, JPM were joint sponsors of their smallish $500M IPO in HK recently. Will be interesting to see implications for upcoming IPOs.https://reut.rs/320LMUv

      I guess investors will have to find other ways to go long Chinese authoritarianism.

      “You don’t often see @tedcruz and @AOC sign a joint statement asking why Western companies have been so quick to crumble, betraying the core American value of free speech.” Article by @zeynep is worth a read to grasp the geopolitical tensions around HK.https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2019/10/why-does-china-care-about-daryl-moreys-hong-kong-tweet/600001/ …
