According to WIRED, researchers at Chinese AI laboratories are increasingly turning to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss their work, recruit talent, and participate in global AI conversations, even as employees from major Western AI companies reduce their online presence.
The report notes a contrast between the growing activity of Chinese AI researchers on the platform and the quieter approach being taken by employees at OpenAI and Anthropic. Chinese researchers are using X to explain their technical work and engage with the international AI community, according to WIRED.
This shift in social media dynamics comes as Chinese AI labs seek to shape the global conversation around artificial intelligence development. WIRED reports that the platform has become a venue for these researchers to showcase their work and attract talent to their organizations.
