US Tech and Chinese Intelligence Align on AI Concerns Ahead of Xi-Trump Summit

Artificial intelligence has become an unusual convergence point for American technology executives and Chinese national security officials, even as the two nations prepare for high-stakes talks on the technology next week. State Security Minister Chen Yixin warned this month that rapid AI advances pose threats to political stability, critical infrastructure, and ideological security, citing risks from deepfakes, surveillance, and malware development. Simultaneously, US tech leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have urged development slowdowns to address safety concerns, creating rare common ground on a technology poised to reshape global power dynamics.
