China spy chief points at US AI models in cyber threat warning

The Chinese Communist Party’s top intelligence official named two U.S. artificial intelligence models as cybersecurity risks to China’s critical infrastructure, though he did not accuse either of being used in attacks on the country.

Chen Yixin, head of the Ministry of State Security, made the comments in the journal of the Cyberspace Administration of China. The ministry oversees China’s intelligence and secret police apparatus and reports to the Communist Party’s top political-legal body.
