Carnegie maps Chinese AI-surveillance technology in 63 countries

A Carnegie Endowment report by Steven Feldstein mapped AI-surveillance use across 176 countries. It identified Chinese-company technology in 63 countries, with Huawei supplying at least 50, and found 36 countries that combined Chinese surveillance technology with Belt and Road participation. The index also documented major Western suppliers and democratic users. It maps the spread of tools; purchase alone does not establish how every buyer uses them.
