May 17 (Reuters) - The White House and congressional officials have been scrutinizing Apple's AAPL.O plan to strike a deal with Alibaba 9988.HK to make the Chinese company's AI available on iPhones in China, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
The paper, citing three people familiar with the deliberations, said U.S. authorities were concerned that the deal would help a Chinese company to improve its artificial intelligence capacities, broaden the reach of Chinese chatbots with censorship limits and deepen Apple's exposure to Beijing laws over censorship and data sharing.
