China says US targeting of AI not helpful to healthy development

China's UN Ambassador, Fu Cong, has criticized the United States' targeting of certain investments in artificial intelligence (AI) in China, stating that it is not helpful for the "healthy development" of AI technology. He argues that these sanctions will be divisive in terms of global governance and hinder international cooperation on AI capacity-building. The US recently issued draft rules aimed at banning or requiring notification of certain investments in AI and other technology sectors in China that could pose a threat to US national security. The Chinese resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly promotes a fair, open, inclusive, and non-discriminatory environment for AI systems.

Meta's chief AI scientist says terrorists and rogue states aren't going to take over the world with open-source AI

Meta AI's Chief AI Scientist, Yann LeCun, believes that criminals and terrorists will not be able to exploit open-source AI systems for malicious purposes. He states that the significant amount of resources, including funding and talent, required for such an endeavor make it unlikely. LeCun also mentions that even wealthy states like China face difficulties in controlling open-source AI due to export bans on AI chips imposed by the US. Meta AI has been advocating for an open-source approach to AI development, distinguishing itself from competitors like OpenAI and Google. LeCun has dismissed notions of AI posing an existential threat to humanity in the past.

Russia produced most AI content to sway presidential vote, US intelligence official says

A U.S. intelligence official revealed that Russia has produced the most AI content to influence the U.S. presidential election, with a focus on boosting Donald Trump and denigrating Kamala Harris. This AI content includes text, pictures, and videos that appear to be created by humans. Russia is considered a sophisticated actor in this field and had a better understanding of how U.S. elections work. China, on the other hand, uses AI content to shape global views but not to sway U.S. election outcomes. Iran has also used AI to generate posts for social media and inauthentic news articles targeting American voters on polarizing issues and presidential candidates.

Eying China, US proposes 'know your customer' cloud computing requirements

The Biden administration is considering requiring US cloud companies to verify if foreign entities are accessing US data centers for training AI models. The proposal aims to prevent China and other non-state actors from using American cloud to train their models. The regulation, known as "know your customer," would require cloud computing companies to verify the identity of foreign users and comply with minimum standards. The move is part of the US government's efforts to prevent China from accessing advanced US technology for AI development.

Chinese AI firms use foreign data centres for chips

Chinese AI companies are circumventing US chip restrictions by physically transporting data via hard drives to countries like Malaysia. Once there, they leverage data centers equipped with advanced Nvidia chips unavailable in China. This strategy allows them to train AI models outside US jurisdiction and return the improved models back to China. This move challenges US efforts to curtail China's access to critical technology, highlighting ongoing geopolitical tensions in tech development.
