Justin Sun Faces Backlash in China Over AI-Driven Personal Deal

Social media storm over AI advice

Justin Sun posted on X about a dispute with Chinese actress Jing Tian. He said he paid her 30 million yuan for eggs. He claims she later asked for more money.

When the deal stalled, Sun said he asked the AI chatbot Claude for help. The AI told him to stop the deal. Sun now says he is suing Jing Tian.

While many people outside China focused on his behavior toward Jing Tian, people inside China are asking why he trusts AI so much. The story shows how much he uses AI for both personal and business choices.

Questions about AI oversight

In a Phoenix Network interview, Sun said he relies on Claude for daily business decisions worth tens of millions of dollars. He also said the AI performs regular audits of his companies.

It is not clear if he acts on this AI advice without human review. It is also unclear if his audits are checked by professional auditors.

During the interview, Sun seemed unsure if sharing his story was a mistake. When asked if he would have kept his private life separate by using a Chinese-made AI instead, he had no answer.

Jing Tian denies the claims

Jing Tian has pushed back against Sun’s story. She denied his allegations twice. Once, her studio released a statement. Then, she posted her own denial on her personal account.

Both of her responses were short. She said she wants to settle the matter in court.

Key details from reports

• Sun claims he paid 30 million yuan to Jing Tian for eggs.
• Sun says he consulted Claude when she asked for more money.
• Claude reportedly told Sun to end the deal.
• Sun is suing Jing Tian over the broken agreement.
• Jing Tian denies the claims through her studio and her own account.

What is still unclear

It is not confirmed whether Sun actually spoke to an AI during the dispute, or if he is simply describing his general use of AI tools. The exact legal grounds for Sun’s lawsuit have not been detailed in the source material.

Why this matters

The story highlights growing concerns about relying on artificial intelligence for major financial and personal decisions. As crypto leaders like Sun integrate AI into their operations, the public is watching to see how much oversight remains in place.
