Former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams has accused the Meta-owned social media giant of “betraying U.S. values” and undermining national security by collaborating with the Chinese government on U.S. artificial intelligence projects. Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, she accused Meta of briefing China on U.S. AI efforts in order to grow its business there. “We are engaged in a high-stakes AI arms race against China. And during my time at Meta, company executives lied about what they were doing with the Chinese Communist Party to employees, shareholders, Congress, and the American public,” Wynn-Williams said in prepared testimony. In a statement, Meta said Wynn-Williams’ testimony “is divorced from reality and riddled with false claims.” Wynn-Williams’ bestselling memoir on her experience of working for Meta was published last month.
