July 28 (Reuters) - Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told

the Financial Times the U.S. government should not block Chinese

models to gain an edge in the AI race, and warned against

"regulatory capture" by American frontier labs that could stifle

domestic competition.

In an interview with the newspaper published on Tuesday,

Zuckerberg said that banning cutting-edge Chinese AI in the U.S.

would not be "an effective solution".

Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for

comment outside business hours.
