The US side claims that ``Chinese spies are collecting US data using AI,'' highlighting the conflict structure between the US and China.
Under President Xi Jinping, China has undertaken technological development and other efforts to achieve its goal of matching the United States as one of the world's leading economic and military powers. In addition, it has been reported that

In the past, MSS agents would obtain information by infiltrating dinners held at embassies. However, it is now said that the MSS's intelligence gathering and falsification capabilities have reached a level where it can compete on an equal footing with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
'Misusing other countries' existing technology and trade secrets is a common practice encouraged by the government in China,' said Yun Sun, director of China at the American research institute Stimson Center. 'The urgency and intensity of technology espionage activities has increased significantly in recent years.'
According to The New York Times, American intelligence agencies have been collecting only economic information for many years and have avoided collecting information on technological advances other than military companies. Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) speculates that ``China is using AI to collect data on Americans and companies on a scale never before possible.'' FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed, ``Chinese spies are planning a large-scale hacking operation using AI technology stolen from American companies.''
Therefore, the FBI has added AI technology to the ``list of important American technologies to be protected'' and is taking measures to prevent AI from being used as an amplifier to support large-scale hacking operations. The FBI prioritizes protecting companies that develop powerful chips capable of processing AI, rather than protecting AI companies themselves. As a result, even if a hacker succeeds in stealing the AI algorithm, if the situation continues without chip information, the algorithm will quickly become outdated.
To date, China is believed to have been
But with billions of pieces of data collected, human hackers struggle to find accurate information. However, AI has no such limitations.
'In recent years, there has been concern that some users will have the ability to use machine learning and AI to analyze datasets and use them for targeting,' Microsoft President Brad Smith said. 'In the last two years, we've seen evidence that this is actually happening.' He also mentioned a 2021 attack from China on servers running Microsoft's email software that showed 'very specific indicators of targeting. In this incident, AI was used to improve targeting.' We should think that it was used for improvements and improvements.'
Glenn Gerstel, former general counsel for the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), said, ``China is using AI to learn about almost everything about Americans, from health records to credit cards and passport numbers to the names and addresses of parents and children.'' 'The combination of China's AI and Chinese government hackers poses a formidable national security threat.'
'I believe that AI can be used not as an offensive tool, but as a powerful defensive shield,' Smith said. 'We believe that large-scale cyber attacks by weaponized AI can be countered using AI.' He said.
Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded to allegations that the email systems of several government officials were hacked in July 2023, saying, ``The United States is the world's largest hacking empire and a global cyber terrorist.'' He strongly criticized the United States and denied any involvement in hacking or cyberattacks on American networks.
