Künstliche Intelligenz: „Kognitive Kriegsführung“ – Chinas Minister für Staatssicherheit warnt vor KI-Risiken

Künstliche Intelligenz: „Kognitive Kriegsführung“ – Chinas Minister für Staatssicherheit warnt vor KI-Risiken

Beijing – China's top intelligence official has issued one of the most explicit warnings the capital has given yet about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Rapid advances in the technology could threaten political stability and critical infrastructure, wrote Chen Yixin, China's Minister for State Security, in a post on Sunday to a Chinese internet regulator's social media platform.

Chen's contribution also highlighted the growing abilities of AI to identify vulnerabilities in systems and develop malicious software that exploits them. Specifically, he referenced leading US models Claude Mythos by Anthropic and GPT-5.5-Cyber by OpenAI. Beijing's greatest concerns, according to Chen, are the potential for "hostile forces" to conduct "social manipulation" and "cognitive warfare".

Deepfakes, AI-generated texts and images, and social media bots could be used to fabricate political rumors, spread harmful information, and deepen societal divisions.
