According to South China Morning Post, MiroMind, an AI startup founded by Chinese tech billionaire Chen Tianqiao, will suspend its MiroThinker service in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao from May 12 amid tighter scrutiny of cross-border AI activity following the Manus saga. Beijing ordered Meta to unwind its $2 billion acquisition of Manus, an AI startup founded by Chinese entrepreneurs, citing concerns about illegal technology transfers.
MiroMind was contacted by Beijing officials in early March, after which the company set up internal firewalls to limit cross-border sharing of information and code. The company has also shifted some staff to Singapore and is splitting operations for compliance. Affected customers can export data and request refunds.
