China's Spy Chief Flags AI Threat, Warns of 'Cognitive Warfare' & Threats to Security China's Ministry of State Security has sounded an alarm about the growing threat of artificial intelligence (AI) in national security.
In a statement, Minister Chen Yixin accused hostile forces of using AI tools to spread disinformation and manipulate public opinion, threatening China's critical infrastructure.
This warning is not new; similar tactics have been employed before, such as Russia's 2016 "influence operation" or the Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal.
