US Federal Register Removed Alibaba’s Qwen Search Tool After Backlash | Ukraine news - #Mezha

The United States Federal Register recently removed a search tool powered by Alibaba’s Qwen artificial intelligence model from its website following public criticism. The tool had been integrated to help users navigate government documents, but its presence raised concerns regarding data privacy and the use of Chinese-developed technology on federal platforms. The feature was subsequently disabled to address these objections.
