Apple Inc. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s plans to roll out artificial intelligence (AI) services in China have been delayed due to regulatory hurdles stemming from the ongoing U.S.-China trade war. A Beijing regulator has slowed down the approval process for the AI initiatives, impacting the partnership between the two tech giants. The delay is part of a broader impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies, which have affected multiple collaborations between U.S. and Chinese companies. This development underscores the challenges faced by tech firms navigating geopolitical tensions, specifically affecting the rollout of Apple Intelligence in China.
