WSJ Opinion: The US Should Starve Adversaries of AI Compute — China Has Already Leveraged American Chips to Train Military AI Systems

A Wall Street Journal opinion piece argues the US must restrict adversaries' access to AI compute, citing China's documented use of American-origin chips to train military AI systems with an eye toward defeating US forces. The piece calls for tighter export enforcement as a national security imperative, framing AI compute as analogous to nuclear materials — too strategically dangerous to leave ungoverned in adversarial hands. The op-ed arrives as the Commerce Department's June 1 PAN-OS patch deadline closes, reinforcing a week of converging hardware-security policy pressure.
