Summary
A group of Republican lawmakers is demanding that the FBI investigate whether public opposition to AI development in the U.S. is being fueled by a Chinese foreign-influence operation. In an open letter to FBI Director Kash Patel and other officials, the lawmakers cite evidence they claim suggests foreign influence campaigns targeting American AI development. They are requesting a briefing on the matter, framing anti-AI sentiment as potentially part of a coordinated foreign disinformation effort.
