Last week, the Jamestown Foundation published a report that outlines how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has adapted Meta’s “Llama” model into a platform called “ChatBIT.” This platform is reportedly being used to assist the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) with real-time intelligence and military decision-making. The CCP's use of open-access technology developed in the United States is seen as an effort to gain an advantage in artificial intelligence, potentially threatening U.S. national security.
Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) commented on the report, stating: “This report reveals a stark truth: the Chinese Communist Party is co-opting American AI to fuel its military agenda. By weaponizing our open-access technology, the CCP is using U.S. innovation to tip the global balance of power, undermining our security and the principles of open collaboration. The Jamestown Foundation has exposed this urgent threat, demanding a critical reassessment of how we protect our technological edge from exploitation.”
The full report by the Jamestown Foundation can be accessed for further details.
