Stop Blaming Chinese AI. Your American LLM Is the Real Trojan Horse.
The fear of Chinese LLMs as Trojan horses is a distraction. The real vulnerability is in any closed-source model that lacks transparency and auditable guardrails. Any LLM can be weaponized via adversarial fine-tuning β regardless of who built it. Trusting a model because of its origin is like trusting a stranger because of their passport. The only defense is demanding full visibility into training data, behavior, and control.
