Chinese video surveillance equipment maker Hikvision was reportedly paid $6 million by Beijing last year to provide technology that could identify members of the nation's Uyghur people, a Muslim ethnic majority, according to physical security monitoring org IPVM.

"While the People's Republic of China has sharply restricted access to sensitive documents such as this one, this shows that persecution of Uyghur ethnic minorities is ongoing and that Hikvision, in what the authorities called its 'standard configuration,' can and does supply this human rights-abusing software," IPVM's researchers reported last week. Hikvision earned itself a spot on the US blacklist in 2019 for allegedly being complicit in Beijing's suppression of the Uyghur population.

Dell's solution, Project Helix, is a full stack, on-premises offering in which companies train and guide their own proprietary AI. For example, a company might deploy a large language model to read all of the knowledge articles on its website and answer a user's questions based on a summary of those articles, said Forrester analyst Rowan Curran.
