The United States should refrain from making unfounded accusations and smears against China regarding artificial intelligence (AI) model mining, said Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.

Mao's remarks were in response to reports on U.S. accusing Chinese AI companies of "copying" its technology.

"China's AI development is the result of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening, and also benefits from China's consistent commitment to the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, as well as open cooperation. We have always believed that all parties should strengthen cooperation to promote the open, inclusive, equitable and beneficial development of AI, serving the well-being of all humanity. We hope the U. S. side will earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and refrain from making unfounded accusations and smears against China. Both China and the United States are major AI powers and should strengthen cooperation," Mao said.

Yemen's Houthi group said Saturday it is ready for reciprocal measures with Saudi Arabia to keep airports, seaports and other facilities with humanitarian functions outside the escalating military confrontation.

In a statement carried by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, the group expressed readiness for "all parties" to refrain from targeting sites of humanitarian importance, identifying airports and seaports as a priority.

The statement comes as the confrontation between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia intensifies, with airstrikes on Houthi-held areas in Yemen continuing and the group launching missile and drone attacks against targets inside the kingdom, including airports.

Yemen has been mired in conflict since late 2014, when the Houthi group seized the capital Sanaa and much of northern Yemen. A Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015 in support of the internationally recognized Yemeni government, which is now based in the southern port city of Aden.
