Exclusive: Every AI Datacenter Is Vulnerable to Chinese Espionage, Report Says

The unredacted report was circulated inside the Trump White House in recent weeks, according to its authors. TIME viewed a redacted version ahead of its public release. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. Today's top AI datacenters are vulnerable to both asymmetrical sabotage--where relatively cheap attacks could disable them for months--and exfiltration attacks, in which closely guarded AI models could be stolen or surveilled, the report's authors warn. "You could end up with dozens of datacenter sites that are essentially stranded assets that can't be retrofitted for the level of security that's required," says Edouard Harris, one of the authors of the report.
