Is China Waking up to the Dangers of AI?

The Diplomat  

In early November, reports emerged that the People’s Liberation Army had begun deploying a version of Meta’s Llama model for military purposes. Its use for supporting an authoritarian regime – and Meta’s impotent response that such usage violated terms and conditions the U.S. firm could never enforce on the PLA – seemed like yet another parable about how democratic openness could easily turn to authoritarian advantage. It is very sad to see.” Despite this, China’s tech titans like Tencent and Alibaba – and smaller labs like ZhipuAI and 01 AI – have blazed ahead in AI research. Everyday users agree: on ChatbotArena, where users choose between side-by-side answers from two unnamed models, Chinese-language users preferred answers from Google and OpenAI to those from 01 AI, China’s top-performing firm. While the Cyberspace Administration of China’s guidelines demand that models “dhere to socialist values” and do not generate content that “divides the nation… or spreads harmful information,” the only reference to other countries is that firms must ensure foreign investors adhere to other laws regulating foreign investment.
