当美国人还在为未来可能出现的杀人机器人和生物武器人工智能战争做好准备时，专家们在习近平主席本周访美前夕警告称，北京早已在不费一枪一弹的情况下，通过人工智能 actively undermining 美国的全球霸主地位。
接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的专家列出了一份隐蔽的三步走战略，包括窃取美国模型的逻辑、用免费开源软件打压美国开发商，并最终将这些系统用于认知战等武器化用途。
他们详细说明了中国如何通过实验室研究尖端美国人工智能并复制其功能，绕过美国数十亿美元的研发投入，同时向全球市场免费提供替代产品。
“我认为‘竞赛’这个词用在这件事上是错误的，”国防民主基金会人工智能研究员莉亚·西斯金德告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“我觉得这更像是一场多线战争。在某些领域我们占据上风，而在另一些领域我们则处于劣势。”

尽管美国顶尖科技公司投入巨资打造极其昂贵的专有系统，但中国却将大量精力投入到向全球推广免费开源模型。西斯金德警告称，由于美国技术成本高昂，且美国科技行业在很大程度上忽视了开源投资，许多财富500强企业出于财务考量选择使用中国模型，无意中为中共审查、隐藏后门乃至最终的全球主导地位打开了大门。
“当美国技术价格极其昂贵时，你如何与免费的东西竞争？”西斯金德说，“我们如何确保中国的开源模型真正干净，真正不受中共审查？我们做不到——我们根本无从得知。而这正是其设计初衷。我们无法得知其中可能植入了何种隐蔽后门，以及未来会带来何种隐患。”
中国问题专家戈登·张警告称，北京正有意利用这些免费模型，重演其此前在另一行业垄断市场的经济手段。
“这是中国在太阳能电池板领域用过的战术，”戈登·张告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“北京认为，总有一天它们会凭借成本和可及性优势淘汰美国模型，进而主导全球人工智能市场。”

但要向市场倾销免费软件，北京首先需要掌握核心技术，并找到绕过美国在计算能力方面巨大领先优势的方法。

戈登·张指出，美国在实体基础设施方面占据绝对领先优势，拥有超过5400个数据中心，而中国约有450个，同时美国在芯片方面也遥遥领先。西斯金德警告称，为了绕过从零开始训练人工智能所需的巨额硬件和能源成本，中国实验室正通过一种被称为“知识蒸馏”的流程缩小差距——即通过更小的模型“审问”更大、更智能的美国模型，以复制其逻辑。
“他们能够通过窃取这类信息实现弯道超车，”西斯金德以中国模型深度求索（DeepSeek）为例说道，“这就是他们能够在2025年推出深度求索等模型的原因，这在当时引发了轩然大波，因为它们展现出了与尖端美国模型竞争的实力，而投入的资源仅为美国的一小部分。”
美国对手凭借被低估的优势加剧对美国人工智能领先地位的施压
这种威胁并非理论上的。就在上周，美国国土安全部发布联合网络安全 advisory，警告中国企业正在开展“工业规模的知识蒸馏行动”，从美国前沿模型中提取专有能力。

除了经济打压和软件窃取，专家们还警告称，北京同时正在将人工智能部署到实体供应链和公共影响力宣传活动中。
西斯金德强调，中国当下的实体威胁并非科幻小说中的“杀人机器人”，而是“具身人工智能”——将人工智能嵌入工厂自动化、商用无人机和自主供应链等现实基础设施中。
戈登·张警告称，人工智能增强型宣传对美国决策和民主主权构成直接威胁。
“他们非常擅长认知战，并且可以借助人工智能提升自身能力，”戈登·张说，“我们不希望我们的选举由中国决定，不希望我们关键的国家安全决策在北京做出。而这并非不可能。”
中国专家警告：北京希望美国人——而非中共——传播其信息
随着习近平主席本周抵达美国，接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的专家表示，白宫必须以应对传统军事部署的同等紧迫感，来对待这些并非好莱坞电影中的威胁。

为保护美国仅剩的领先优势，西斯金德表示，华盛顿必须收紧芯片出口漏洞、将从事欺诈性蒸馏活动的外国实验室列入黑名单，并激励美国开源开发。她强调，“最重要的是，最先进的系统应由民主国家开发，并体现民主价值观，而非威权价值观，这一点非常重要。”

对戈登·张而言，这场技术防御的利害关系远超标准的经济竞争。
“习近平主席在本世纪始终在推行中国帝制时代的‘天下’理念，即中国统治者有权统治世界，”戈登·张警告道，“这在我们听来荒谬可笑，但拥有人工智能支撑的中国政权或许真能实现这一目标。我们当然不希望我们的决策由中国首都做出。”

在周二的联合国大会一般性辩论上，唐纳德·特朗普总统重申了华盛顿超越中国的目标，宣布美国政府文件今后将把人工智能称为“超级智能”。
“美国完全反对任何试图构建全球主义方案以控制人工智能的企图，”特朗普对世界各国领导人表示，“谁赢得超级智能，谁就赢得一切。我们目前在这方面远超中国和其他所有国家，并且我们将保持这一领先地位。”

WATCH: Inside China’s playbook to steal, undercut and dominate American AI
Experts Gordon Chang and Leah Siskind detail Beijing’s strategy to leapfrog U.S. technology, using knowledge distillation, low-cost open models and embodied AI.

While Americans brace for a futuristic AI war of killer robots and bioweapons, experts warn ahead of President Xi Jinping’s U.S. visit this week that Beijing is already actively undermining America’s global supremacy through AI without ever firing a shot.
Experts who spoke with Fox News Digital outlined a stealthy, three-part playbook, which includes extracting the logic of American models, undercutting U.S. developers with free open-source software and ultimately weaponizing those systems for things like cognitive warfare.
They laid out how China bypasses billions of dollars in U.S. research through labs that interrogate cutting-edge American AI and copy its capabilities, while simultaneously flooding the global market with free alternatives.
“I think a ‘race’ is the wrong metaphor for this,” Leah Siskind, an AI research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital. “I think it’s kind of like a multi-front war. And in some places, we’re winning, and some places we’re losing.”

While top American tech firms have poured billions into building ultra-expensive, proprietary systems, China has focused heavily on distributing free, open-source models across the globe. Siskind warned that because American tech is costly and the U.S. sector has largely neglected open-source investment, many Fortune 500 companies are making the financial choice to run their operations on Chinese models, unwittingly opening the door to potential CCP censorship, hidden backdoors and, ultimately, global dominance.
“How can you compete with something that’s free when American tech is very, very expensive?” Siskind said. “How can we ensure that a Chinese open-source model would be truly clean, that it’d be truly free of CCP censorship? We can’t be — we just wouldn’t know. And that’s by design. We wouldn’t know what sort of trick backdoors might be implanted and how that could rear its head later on.”
China expert Gordon Chang warned that Beijing is intentionally using these free models to repeat an economic tactic it previously deployed to corner a different industry.
“This is a tactic that China used with solar panels,” Chang told Fox News Digital. “Beijing sees that one day it will drive out the American models on cost and availability, and they will then dominate global AI.”

But to flood the market with free software, Beijing first needs the underlying technology and a way to bypass America’s massive lead in computing power.

Chang noted that the U.S. possesses a commanding lead in physical infrastructure, boasting over 5,400 data centers compared to China’s roughly 450, along with far superior microchips. To work around the staggering hardware and energy costs required to train artificial intelligence from scratch, Siskind warned that Chinese labs are closing the gap through a process known as “knowledge distillation,” a method where a smaller model essentially interrogates a larger, smarter American model to copy its logic.
“They are able to leapfrog the process by kind of stealing this information,” Siskind said, pointing to the Chinese model DeepSeek as a prime example. “This is how they were able to release models like DeepSeek in 2025, which was seismic news because they were able to show that they were really competing with cutting-edge American models and had invested a fraction of the resources.”

The threat is not theoretical. Just last week, the Department of Homeland Security issued a joint cybersecurity advisory warning that Chinese companies are conducting “industrial-scale knowledge distillation campaigns” to extract proprietary capabilities from U.S. frontier models.

Beyond economic undercutting and software theft, the experts also warned Beijing is simultaneously deploying artificial intelligence into physical supply chains and public influence campaigns.
Rather than sci-fi “killer robots,” Siskind emphasized that China’s immediate physical priority is “embodied AI,” embedding artificial intelligence into real-world infrastructure like factory automation, commercial drones and autonomous supply chains.
Chang warned that AI-enhanced propaganda poses a direct threat to American decision-making and democratic sovereignty.
“They’re very good at cognitive warfare, and they can enhance their capabilities with artificial intelligence,” Chang said. “We do not want our elections determined in China. We do not want our critical national security decisions being made in Beijing. And that’s not impossible.”
CHINA EXPERT WARNS BEIJING WANTS AMERICANS — NOT THE CCP — TO SPREAD ITS MESSAGE
As President Xi Jinping arrives in the U.S. this week, the experts who spoke to Fox News Digital said the White House must treat these non-cinematic threats with the same urgency as traditional military posturing.

To protect America’s remaining edge, Siskind said Washington must tighten chip export loopholes, blacklist foreign labs engaging in deceptive distillation and incentivize U.S. open-source development, emphasizing that “it is very important that the most advanced systems are developed under democracy and represent democratic values, as opposed to authoritarian values.”

For Chang, the stakes of that technological defense extend far beyond standard economic competition.
“Xi Jinping throughout this century has been pushing the Chinese imperial-era notion of Tianxia, or ‘all under heaven’ that China’s rulers have a right to rule the world,” Chang warned. “That sounds ludicrous to us, but a Chinese regime powered by AI might actually be able to accomplish that. We certainly do not want our decisions being made in the Chinese capital.”

Addressing the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, President Donald Trump reiterated Washington’s goal of outpacing China, declaring that U.S. government documents will now refer to AI as “superintelligence.”
“The United States totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control the artificial intelligence being spoken of,” Trump told world leaders. “Whoever wins superintelligence wins. And we’re leading now over China by a lot and everyone else. And we’re going to keep it that way.”
