World Liberty Financial is facing a different kind of scrutiny, not over who owns its trust bank or how it is licensed, but over the technology company it is working with.
On August 17, Reuters reported that World Liberty is collaborating with WorldClaw, a Hong Kong-based artificial intelligence venture that offers access to AI models from Chinese companies. Reuters said 43 of the 90 models on WorldClaw’s website were developed by Chinese companies, including Alibaba, Baidu, and Z.ai. Reuters also reported that WorldClaw accepts payments using World Liberty tokens and said it may share user data with model providers, while saying it had privacy and security protections in place.
The focus has now widened from banking and licensing to a tech partnership that raises questions about Chinese AI exposure, token payments, and data sharing.
