[The U.S. Federal Register Website Once Used the Allegedly Plagiarized Chinese Qwen Model for AI Search] According to Reuters, the Federal Register website, operated by the U.S. National Archives, once launched an AI search feature powered by Alibaba's Qwen large model to retrieve proposed federal regulations and public comments. Previously, the FBI accused Alibaba of "maliciously" plagiarizing U.S. company Anthropic's technology during the development of Qwen and claimed that Chinese AI companies are extensively copying U.S. technology. The Qwen search feature was taken offline after related content surfaced on social media. Multiple experts believe this move is unlikely to pose immediate national security risks in the short term, but it highlights a clear contradiction with the U.S.'s cautious stance toward Chinese AI models. Some members of Congress have publicly opposed the federal government using Chinese AI models.
