[The British side said that China is "extremely likely" to use AI to carry out hacking operations in the future, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuted it] November 4th, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference on November 4th. A reporter asked: According to reports, the National Cyber ​​Security Center under the British Government Communications Headquarters released an annual cybersecurity report on the 3rd, stating that China is a powerhouse in artificial intelligence technology. By 2028, China is "extremely likely" to frequently use AI to carry out hacking operations, becoming the "most complex and persistent" cyber threat facing the UK. What is China’s comment on this? Mao Ning said that we have noticed relevant reports. China expresses serious concern over the UK's use of speculative language to smear China in the absence of evidence. Cybersecurity risks caused by artificial intelligence are a common challenge faced by all countries, and new international rules should be formulated at the United Nations to jointly address them. Regrettably, the UK has politicized cybersecurity issues for a long time, and now uses the "old bottle" of hacker attacks to package "new wine" to suppress China's artificial intelligence development. This wrong approach will not help enhance mutual trust between China and the UK, and will also damage the UK's credibility in global cooperation on artificial intelligence security governance. China has always maintained that the development of artificial intelligence should be upward, benevolent, open, and universally beneficial, coordinate security and development, and ensure safety, reliability, and controllability.
