China spy chief points at US AI models in cyber threat warning
China's spy chief identified Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-Cyber as signs of what he called a “disruptive upgrade” in cyber capabilities, increasing the speed and potential weaponization of vulnerability discovery and malware development.
Last weekend, US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed artificial intelligence (AI) during separate international gatherings. Trump emphasized the importance of maintaining US dominance in AI technology, stating "We’re leading China in AI…and frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI wins."
In contrast, Xi advocated for international cooperation and a global AI governance pact, emphasizing openness and collaboration. The stark contrast in their visions highlights the lack of consensus between the two superpowers and a deep distrust in the high-stakes race for AI supremacy.
