BEIJING, March 11 (Xinhua) — Military applications of artificial intelligence (AI) must be dominated by humans to avoid losing control of the technology, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said on Wednesday.
Jiang Bin made the statement in response to journalists' requests to comment on reports that the US Department of Defense had required American tech companies to allow the military unrestricted use of AI technologies, and that the US military had widely used AI tools in military operations against Venezuela and Iran.
Unrestricted military use of AI, the use of AI as a tool to infringe on the sovereignty of other countries, allowing AI to exert excessive influence on decision-making in wartime, and empowering algorithms to decide life and death matters not only undermine the ethical constraints and responsibilities associated with war, but also create the risk of technology becoming uncontrollable, Jiang Bin said.
He expressed protest against the use of its advantages in AI and other new technologies to achieve absolute military superiority or to undermine the sovereignty and territorial security of other countries.
China is ready to work with other countries to advance the multilateral AI governance process, with the UN at its core, and strengthen risk prevention and control measures to ensure that AI always develops in a direction that contributes to the progress of human civilization, he concluded. -0-
