SAN FRANCISCO - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology said it will review the school's relationship with SenseTime Group Ltd, an artificial-intelligence startup that was among eight Chinese companies blacklisted by the US this week over alleged human rights violations.

The circumstances surrounding the blacklist are similar to a controversy at MIT earlier this year with two other Chinese companies, Huawei Technologies Co and ZTE Corp. They were among the first Chinese businesses targeted by the Trump administration. The school cut ties with those companies and said it had put in new standards for evaluating projects involving China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Last year, MIT said SenseTime would be the first company to join a new MIT Intelligence Quest initiative, which seeks to"advance research into human and machine intelligence in service to all humanity," according to a news release.
