Alibaba&nbsp;Group Holding Ltd said that the U.S.'s National Basketball Association will use the tech giant's cloud services for its digital operations in China, according to a Reuters report on Wednesday.The NBA, the world's largest basketball league, is the first prominent U.S. client for the Chinese tech giant, marking a shift in the status quo.Alibaba's cloud services are used by only a handful of mid-size American firms, such as Citrix and EPAM Systems, according to Alibaba Cloud's customer success page. It does not mention any Fortune 500 companies.Why The Tie-Up MattersThe deal is significant also because the U.S. is deterring technology collaboration in another area: semiconductors. America has barred sales of high-end chips to China, citing national security concerns and the desire to maintain a technological edge.Under the agreement, Alibaba will develop applications to enhance fan experiences on the NBA app in China, and NBA China will leverage Alibaba's technologies, including a proprietary AI model based on the Qwen series of foundational models.The multi-year deal makes Alibaba Cloud the official cloud computing and AI partner for NBA China, according to Alibaba, which did not disclose the financial terms.The partnership comes after the NBA signed an 11-year deal for&nbsp;its&nbsp;U.S. broadcasting&nbsp;rights, worth $77 billion, last year. It ditched its long-time partner, TNT Sports, now owned by Warner Bros Discovery, for joint licenses with Walt Disney's ESPN, Comcast-owned NBCUniversal, and Amazon Prime Video.In China, Tencent holds the broadcast rights to the NBA games.Cloud With Silver LiningsThe development is another win for Alibaba Cloud, which has<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/alibaba-stocks-rocket-rally-isnt-slowing-analysts-see-more-cloud-fueled-gains/chDMrSpR37f">&nbsp;powered</a> Alibaba Group's earnings and stock this year.

China's popular AI chatbots have temporarily disabled their image-recognition feature during a key college entrance exam in China, according to a Bloomberg News report.Approximately 13.4 million students&nbsp;will take the&nbsp;prestigious “gaokao” between June 7 and 10.

Doubao said the picture uploaded was “not in compliance with [the] rules.”China doesn’t have a broad university application system like the U.S., where admissions consider years of academic records, tests, and personal essays.The centralized gaokao is tightly regulated to prevent cheating and ensure fairness.&nbsp;Last month, the education ministry issued rules urging schools to nurture AI talent early but forbidding students from submitting AI-generated content in homework and exams.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
