The House Select Committee on China announced that Moolenaar and Garbarino sent a letter to DoorDash CEO Tony Xu as part of the joint investigation into national security, cybersecurity, and economic security implications of American companies integrating Chinese AI models. It states the committees began with Anysphere and Airbnb in April and had since discussed technical, commercial, and security considerations with both companies.
Assessments
Garbarino, as House Homeland Security chair, jointly launched and continued an oversight investigation into national security and cybersecurity risks from PRC-developed AI models, including letters and records requests to Anysphere, Airbnb, and DoorDash about U.S. company exposure. That directly matches the promised investigative outcome and occurred while he remained in federal office.
The promise was to investigate national security and cybersecurity risks from PRC-developed AI models and related U.S. company exposure. Evidence shows Garbarino, as chairman, jointly announced exactly such an investigation and sent targeted oversight letters to Anysphere and Airbnb seeking information about their use of or exposure to PRC-developed AI models. That constitutes direct fulfillment of an oversight promise, and it occurred while he was in office during the same term.
