China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) is intensifying its espionage activities by employing advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to rival the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in intelligence collection and subterfuge. The MSS is on a global hunt for technological secrets, as both Chinese and American spies engage in a secretive race to acquire and leverage scientific intelligence. The FBI has voiced concerns over China's use of AI to conduct cyberattacks and compile extensive dossiers on Americans. These developments were reported by The New York Times, which also noted that OpenAI contacted the FBI after suspecting that a former employee's actions might benefit Chinese intelligence. The FBI fears that China is using American technology against the United States. The Times' reporting sheds light on the geopolitical stakes of the critical tech race and China's efforts to adapt its Great Firewall for the AI era, while also expanding its recruitment efforts to include more Americans and Europeans.

Interesting, but debatable, line in NYT piece on rising stature of PRC intelligence. "Because of China’s economic boom & industrial policies, the MSS is able to use emerging technologies like AI to challenge [US] spymasters in a way the Soviets could not." https://t.co/hA0mvm50BU
FBI: “China is using our own technology against us” Reminder: if China steals our AI models (or we open source them) then we’re not “getting ahead”: “Recently, OpenAI reached out to the FBI after a forensic investigation of a former employee’s laptop raised suspicions that the… https://t.co/U5CWozCi18 https://t.co/YtOR15SfZ0 https://t.co/65gsbI7Bsy
