Ai is different then much of "High Tech" because it deals with information, knowledge, things that the CCP wants to keep tight control over for its population. So yes they "allow" it because this high tech is different then a high tech car or a high tech phone (behind the great firewall). AI is all about information and knowledge something which the CCP puts a high value on controlling. So "allowing" is the proper term this time. This is no way denigrates all of the other achievements of the CCP which are many.
