TikTok is now selling its AI

China-based ByteDance which is the parent organization of TikTok, has apparently begun selling the AI technology of the short video-production application to different organizations, remembering for India where the application is banned.

The Financial Times reports that the organization has started off another division called BytePlus and is offering TikTok AI to organizations like India-based social gaming platform GamesApp, US fashion application Goat, Singapore travel site WeGo, Indonesian shopping application Chilibeli, among others.

In 2020, the Indian government restricted a few applications created by Chinese firms, including TikTok, over worries that these applications were participating in exercises that threatened the national security and defense of the country.

Last month, Nikhil Gandhi, the India Head of China’s ByteDance-owned short video-sharing platform TikTok, decided to quit. TikTok roped in Gandhi in 2019 as its India head to drive the next phase of growth for the Chinese short video-sharing platform.
