This is your US-China CyberPulse: Defense Updates podcast.
So, let's dive right into the past few days of developments in US cybersecurity against Chinese threats As of now, there's been a lot going on. Louisiana's Governor Jeff Landry recently signed an executive order to ban the use of AI tools developed by hostile foreign governments, including China, from state agencies and educational institutions. This move aims to protect Louisiana from potential espionage threats, especially with AI systems like DeepSeek, a Chinese-made platform known for manipulating information and funneling user data back to China.
On the national level, intelligence officials are sounding the alarm over US researchers collaborating with Chinese military researchers, which has led to calls for stricter research protections. More than 500 US universities have collaborated with Chinese military affiliates, raising concerns about illicit knowledge transfer and the exploitation of American research. Sen. Tom Cotton has introduced legislation to restrict such collaborations, citing the need to safeguard US national security and innovation.
In the private sector, initiatives like AISec @ GovWare 2025 are gaining traction. This program, co-hosted by Trend Micro and GovWare, brings together global leaders to discuss responsible AI adoption and cybersecurity resilience. It highlights the urgency of integrating security into AI systems from the outset and promotes collaborative efforts to combat AI-driven cyber threats.
Meanwhile, the UK's National Cyber Security Centre has issued warnings about rising cyber threats from China, among other nation-states. The UK has seen a significant increase in major cyber-attacks, with Chinese actors being one of the top concerns.
Internationally, there's a growing emphasis on cooperation. The Center for Strategic and International Studies hosts Track 1.5 dialogues to engage governments and industries in cybersecurity discussions, aiming to boost transparency and cooperation.
