Chinese military leverage Microsoft's HoloLens 2 headsets for combat amid the US government's export ban on AI chips over security concerns

The Chinese military has been observed using Microsoft's HoloLens 2 headsets for training in aircraft maintenance on a warplane, as seen on the military channel of Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. This move has sparked reactions in China, with some expressing the need for the country to manufacture its own devices rather than relying on third-party sources. The video gained attention on social media, with a hashtag reaching 500 million views on Weibo. The use of HoloLens 2 by the Chinese military comes amid the US government's export ban on AI chips to China over military and security concerns. The ban aims to establish control over chip use rather than undermine China's economy. Microsoft's future investment in HoloLens remains uncertain, with speculation about the continuation of its AR hardware efforts.
