China’s AI Is Spreading Fast. Here’s How to Stop the Security Risks

The rapid global adoption of Chinese-origin AI models poses significant national security risks to the United States. Because Chinese AI companies are subject to their country's National Intelligence Law, their models can be used for intelligence collection and supply chain poisoning. Key threats include embedding malicious backdoors in AI software, exfiltrating sensitive user data, and displacing Western economic interests. The proposed solutions involve creating new regulations for AI model repositories, extending software liability frameworks to AI platforms, and developing standardized testing protocols to verify model integrity.
