China has rejected references to Chinese artificial intelligence in the British annual report on cybersecurity. A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, stated that Beijing is concerned that the British side is using unsubstantiated, speculative claims to smear China.
Mao Ning emphasized that the risks associated with artificial intelligence pose a common challenge for all countries and should be addressed through new international rules within the framework of the United Nations.
However, she stated that Britain has long politicized issues of cybersecurity and is now using the issue of alleged hacking attacks to put pressure on the development of Chinese artificial intelligence.
According to Mao Ning, such actions do not contribute to strengthening mutual trust between China and Britain and may also damage the credibility of the British side in international cooperation on the management of artificial intelligence security.
China, according to the spokesperson, supports the development of AI that is open, safe, reliable, and beneficial to the public, while also balancing security and development issues.
