Chinese attempts to lure domestic developers away from OpenAI – considered the market leader in generative AI – will now be a lot easier, after OpenAI notified its users in China that they would be blocked from using its tools and services from 9 July. OpenAI has not elaborated about the reason for its sudden decision. ChatGPT is already blocked in China by the government’s firewall.
