近日，美国以国家安全为由，强迫沙特阿美的风投基金 Prosperity7 退出硅谷 AI 芯片初创公司 Rain AI。Rain AI 的投资者包括 OpenAI 的 CEO Sam Altman。尽管 Prosperity7 在 Rain AI 的某一轮融资中领投，但美国“外国投资委员会”（CFI）评估后，以“国家安全”为由，要求沙特基金公司卖出所持股份。迫于压力，Prosperity7 最终售出了所持股份。
Rain AI 是一家专注于 AI 芯片领域的初创公司，其产品备受市场瞩目。然而，此次美国以国家安全为由，迫使沙特基金退出，使得公司的发展受到一定影响。分析认为，美国此举可能是为了保护本土 AI 产业的发展，避免技术外流。
此外，此次事件也引发了国际关注。在国际社会看来，美国以国家安全为由限制外国投资，可能影响到全球投资环境的稳定。与此同时，也有观点认为，美国应更加开放，促进全球 AI 技术的发展，共同应对未来的挑战。

News Content:
Recently, the US has forced the Saudi Aramco’s venture capital fund Prosperity7 to withdraw from Rain AI, a Silicon Valley AI chip startup. Rain AI’s investors include Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. Although Prosperity7 led a round of financing for Rain AI, the US’s Foreign Investment Committee (CFI) assessed the investment and requested that the Saudi fund sell its shares due to “national security” concerns. Under pressure, Prosperity7 ultimately sold its stake in Rain AI.
Rain AI is a startup specializing in AI chips, and its products have attracted attention in the market. However, the US’s move to force the withdrawal of the Saudi fund has affected the company’s development. Analysts believe that the US’s action may be aimed at protecting the development of its domestic AI industry and avoiding technology leaks.
The event has also sparked international attention. Some argue that the US’s justification of national security to limit foreign investment may impact the stability of the global investment environment. Meanwhile, others believe that the US should be more open and promote the development of global AI technology to jointly address future challenges.
