Lawmakers Seek DoorDash Data on Chinese AI Models
U.S. lawmakers have requested information from DoorDash about its evaluation and deployment of Chinese-developed AI models amid growing concern over national security and dependence on PRC-developed systems. The request comes from the chairmen of two House committees conducting a joint investigation into security implications of U.S. companies using Chinese AI models. CNBC reports DoorDash publicly acknowledged deploying Chinese models for some workloads and its AI research lab said Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2.6 and Anthropic’s Fable 5 outperformed other models it used. The probe has already included letters to other companies such as Cursor and Airbnb as lawmakers consider risk-based safeguards and a U.S. strategy for open-weight models.
