Meta Platforms Inc. executive Sarah Wynn-Williams alleges Meta has been secretly aiding China in its AI development, raising concerns about the company’s intentions and potential national security risks. In a bombshell move, Wynn-Williams, former Director of Global Public Policy at Meta, plans to testify before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism concerning Meta’s activities in China. She claims Meta has repeatedly undermined US national security through its business dealings with China, including providing data access to the Chinese Communist Party. 2014 marked the start of Meta’s presence in China, where it began offering its products and services. Wynn-Williams cites specific examples like granting access to user data belonging to American users to the Chinese government. Further evidence points to Meta’s participation in China’s DeepSeek AI movement, with its AI model, Llama, believed to have played a role in advancing Chinese AI capabilities. The timing of these allegations couldn’t be more significant as tensions between China and the US are at a boiling point under the ongoing trade war between the two nations. Wynn-Williams’ testimony before Congress is expected to provide crucial insights into Meta’s actions and potential consequences.
