China’s Minister of State Security Chen Yixin warns that generative artificial intelligence could be used by “hostile forces” to endanger national security by fabricating political rumours and spreading harmful information. In an article published online, Chen says AI-related threats could undermine social order and stability.
The outlets report that Chen links the risk to the use of AI tools to create and disseminate misinformation. While the core message is the same across sources, one outlet frames the warning as potentially threatening the Communist Party’s rule, reflecting a stronger emphasis on political implications rather than purely security concerns.
Overall, the reports describe the statement as a caution from China’s spy leadership about foreign-backed information operations that could leverage AI. They do not provide specific examples, named targets, or evidence in the excerpts, but they characterize the warning as part of a broader national-security approach to emerging technologies and information risks.
