China AI and cybersecurity development
Overview
China is advancing its technological capabilities in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, with a specific focus on talent development and industrial application.
In September 2026, the China Cybersecurity Conference in Hefei addressed the security risks introduced by the integration of large models into business processes, such as data leaks and AI-automated attacks. A report released at the event highlighted a shortage of specialized AI security personnel and suggested that training must align more closely with real-world business scenarios.
By October 2026, these efforts expanded into regional competitions and specialized initiatives. In Chengdu, the Global Agent Competition focused on the practical industrial use of AI agents. Simultaneously, in Guangdong, Cybersecurity Awareness Week introduced policies for computing power export and launched initiatives to cultivate cybersecurity talent in the Greater Bay Area, including recruitment for thousands of positions in AI and big data.
