China Raises Its Own Concerns About Artificial Intelligence
According to Le Monde, China's intelligence chief outlined the risks that artificial intelligence poses to the country, particularly to the regime, just days before a meeting in Washington between the Chinese and American presidents.
As the United States publicly debates the need to curb artificial intelligence development, China in turn is expressing concerns about this technology, according to Le Monde in its September 16, 2026 edition.
According to the newspaper, China's intelligence chief has drawn up a list of threats that artificial intelligence poses to the country, particularly regarding the stability of the current regime. Le Monde does not specify in the excerpt consulted the exact nature of these threats or the precise context in which these statements were made.
These comments come just days before a planned meeting in Washington between the leaders of the world's two largest economies, the United States and China, Le Monde notes.
The debate over regulating artificial intelligence is thus intensifying on both sides of the Pacific, with both countries seeking, each on their own terms, to assess the risks posed by this rapidly expanding technology, both economically and from a security standpoint.
Le Monde indicates that China's stance marks a shift in Beijing's official discourse, which has previously focused more on promoting national technological development in artificial intelligence.
