China calls for "security barrier" for AI amid domestic advances and US warnings

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 07:37

China's Minister of State Security, Chen Yixin, today called for the creation of a "security barrier" around artificial intelligence, given the growing concerns in Beijing and Washington about the political and social risks associated with this technology.

China has been implementing new domestic regulations to supervise algorithms, deepfakes, and chatbot services, reflecting its concern about the impact of AI on the country's social and political stability.

The call comes in the context of similar alerts in the United States, where authorities and technology companies have also expressed growing concerns about the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence.

The creation of a "security barrier" aims to establish limits and controls that allow for the benefits of AI to be harnessed while mitigating the risks identified by both superpowers.

Why this matters

China's call for an AI "security barrier" could influence global technology policies, affecting Chinese and international companies operating in the sector. Readers in the region are affected because new regulations may restrict access to AI tools and alter the dynamics of technological trade between China and other countries. The article follows recent warnings in the US about AI risks, showing a rare convergence between the two technological superpowers.
