At present, as a strategic technology that is spearheading a new wave of scientific and technological revolution as well as industrial transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is infiltrating every aspect of international trade with unprecedented breadth and depth, thereby driving a profound reconstruction of the global trade system. This paper systematically examines the current application status, challenges, and countermeasures associated with AI technology in the realm of international trade in China. The research reveals that AI can effectively empower Chinese foreign trade enterprises through core applications such as intelligent translation, data analysis, and Smart Border Control, significantly enhancing the efficiency of cross-border communication, market insights, and port operations. However, the deployment of AI also presents significant challenges including data security concerns and compliance barriers, along with structural unemployment affecting traditional trade jobs. To address these challenges, this paper advocates for an accelerated development of an "internal and external" data governance framework to ensure secure data flow by strengthening domestic legislation and oversight while actively participating in the formulation of international regulations. Additionally, it emphasizes the urgent need to promote training programs for "AI + foreign trade" interdisciplinary talents to mitigate employment-related structural contradictions through systematic skills retraining initiatives.
