- China is preparing for the risk of AI escaping human control, per Reuters, with the country's top spy chief publicly warning that AI poses a threat to Communist Party rule according to The New York Times.
- Beijing has simultaneously pushed back against Anthropic CEO comments about Chinese AI development, branding such warnings as "fearmongering" in coverage from AP News and CNBC.
Why it matters: China's spy chief publicly framing AI as a threat to Party rule while the government dismisses Anthropic's CEO and other AI executives as fearmongers reveals that Beijing treats advanced AI as a sovereignty question. Domestic preparation continues even as Western-led calls for a global slowdown find no traction in Beijing.
