The Massachusetts Institute of Technology used funding from a twice-sanctioned Chinese company to advance components of facial recognition technology, which its Chinese benefactor has reportedly used to track and imprison Uyghurs, a Washington Free Beacon review found.\nChina’s largest facial recognition company, SenseTime, donated an undisclosed amount of money to MIT in 2018.\nWhile it’s unclear how SenseTime may have used the research it funded, the company's facial recognition technology has reportedly helped China commit genocide.\nSenseTime's funding of MIT research reflects China's longstanding effort to influence American higher education and target intellectual property that comes out of U.S. universities.\nMIT told the Free Beacon it used the money for \"unrestricted MIT research.\"
