A Thailand-based artificial intelligence company has issued a strong denial following accusations that it illegally transferred advanced computer technology to China in violation of U.S. trade restrictions.
SiamAI, headquartered in Bangkok, released a public statement Saturday addressing allegations that the firm helped circumvent export controls on sophisticated computer chips manufactured by American companies Super Micro Computer and Nvidia.
“SiamAI has not engaged in the export of AI servers to China,” the company declared in its official response.
The firm also emphasized its commitment to following international trade laws, stating: “SiamAI is committed to full adherence to all applicable U.S. export and re-export control laws and regulations.”
Federal prosecutors have made serious allegations regarding the scope of potentially illegal technology transfers, claiming that at least $2.5 billion worth of American artificial intelligence technology made its way to China. According to the prosecution, more than $500 million of this equipment was allegedly shipped during a brief period from April through mid-May 2025.
The controversy comes as Thailand has emerged as a major destination for technology investment in Southeast Asia. Over recent years, the country has successfully attracted substantial funding for data center construction from major tech giants including TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, Microsoft, and Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc.
