SenseTime has been trapped with many difficulties that have affected its growth and stability. In 2019, the US government blacklisted a company due to allegations of human rights violations in Xinjiang. As a result, the company’s access to capital and crucial US tech components became restricted.&nbsp;
Additionally, the situation was compounded in recent months by new curbs on the sale of advanced AI chips and chipmaking equipment to Chinese firms. These problems are becoming a big hurdle in its growth and advancing the company’s difficulties.&nbsp;
The challenges didn’t stop here as recently the share of the company has plunged after short-seller Grizzly Research alleged that the firm is inflating revenues, which SenseTime denied afterward. These difficulties badly affected the company’s financial health

Moreover, this year the company’s focus has shifted from facial recognition to generative AI. Furthermore, SenseTime was one of the pioneering Chinese tech companies to receive official approval to launch ChatGPT-like services to the public.
China’s AI Tech field has had an abundance of capital and talent and companies like Baidu SenseTime and other startups are competing hard to generate more solutions.&nbsp;
