U.S. House Probes DoorDash’s Use of China’s Kimi AI

DoorDash’s use of Kimi, an open-weight artificial intelligence model developed by Chinese startup Moonshot AI, for internal code reviews has drawn scrutiny in Washington. The inquiry reflects broader U.S. concerns that corporate adoption of Chinese AI systems could expose proprietary code or sensitive data, adding national-security and cybersecurity risks to companies’ decisions over model cost, performance and governance.

A U.S. House committee has asked DoorDash to submit a report detailing its AI strategy by a specified deadline and to send representatives to brief lawmakers. The panel is seeking information about how Kimi was deployed, what data it could access and which safeguards were applied. The available report did not identify the committee, hearing date, response deadline or any financial amount tied to the inquiry.
