Eric Xu, chairman of Huawei, stated that Chinese artificial intelligence developers have not yet reached the technological level where they face the security threats currently identified by leading American AI laboratories.
While US labs advocate for slowing down AI development to maintain control, China views advanced AI as a manageable technology. The country is currently establishing national safety standards and evaluation systems to mitigate risks, including potential autonomous agent attacks.
Huawei predicts that autonomous AI agents will account for over 90% of global AI data processing traffic by 2035. The company expects the number of active AI agents to reach 900 billion by that time, making security and privacy technologies essential.
Huawei remains a primary supplier of computing infrastructure for AI training in China, a position solidified after 2023 export restrictions limited access to advanced Nvidia accelerators. However, the company currently cannot produce enough hardware to meet domestic demand.
