The latest AI doomsayer is China’s intelligence boss

China's State Security Minister Chen Yixin frames AI as a strategic battleground, urging technological sovereignty and new AI laws as CAC publishes safety framework 3.0.

Chen Yixin, China's minister for State Security, published an article in China Cyberspace Magazine calling AI the main battleground for global technological competition and warning it could be weaponized to exploit vulnerabilities, attack infrastructure, and steal secrets. He urged technological sovereignty, special AI laws, and Xi Jinping-aligned modernization of national security capabilities, citing risks from foreign AI products and user data leakage. The Cyberspace Administration of China followed with version 3.0 of its AI Safety Governance Framework, endorsing regulatory sandboxes and risk-controllable mechanisms. The stance implies continued exclusion of Nvidia and AMD GPUs from the Chinese market.

UK cyber bill targets AI users, not the vendors building it

UK ministers rejected Lords amendments that would have brought AI vendors into the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill's scope.

Cybersecurity minister Baroness Lloyd of Effra told the Grand Committee that regulating frontier AI developers through the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill would not prevent misuse by hostile actors, pointing instead to the AI Security Institute and the voluntary AI Cyber Security Code of Practice, which informed the ETSI EN 304 223 standard. Rejected amendments included requirements for AI vendors to demonstrate red lines such as evading human oversight, and last-resort powers to shut down a datacenter or widely deployed AI system during emergencies. The bill instead extends the NIS 2018 regime to managed service providers, datacenter operators and designated critical suppliers, imposing duties on regulated organizations rather than technology providers.
