China's top intelligence official Chen Yixin has warned that artificial intelligence poses significant national security risks, including threats to political stability, critical infrastructure, and information security. He highlighted concerns about foreign adversaries using AI for cyberattacks, misinformation campaigns, and data mining. While Chinese authorities are developing AI safety policies, they emphasize strategic rivalry and political control rather than existential AI risks. The warnings come amid global calls for AI regulation and upcoming US-China discussions on AI governance.
