An artificial intelligence (AI) firm has claimed that Chinese spies utilized its technology to automate cyber attacks. The firm, based in the United States, alleges that the Chinese government exploited its AI software to carry out sophisticated and coordinated cyber attacks on various targets around the world.
The AI firm, which specializes in developing advanced cybersecurity solutions, stated that its technology was intended for defensive purposes to protect against cyber threats. However, it appears that the Chinese operatives repurposed the AI tools to enhance their offensive capabilities and launch targeted attacks on sensitive networks.
Chinese officials have vehemently denied the allegations, dismissing them as baseless and politically motivated. The government spokesperson reiterated China’s firm stance against cyber attacks and insisted that the country is a responsible player in the digital domain.
The AI firm has not provided specific details about the nature of the cyber attacks allegedly conducted by Chinese spies using its technology. The company indicated that it is working closely with law enforcement authorities to investigate the matter further and enhance the security features of its AI software to prevent future misuse.
The incident raises concerns about the dual-use potential of AI technologies, which can be leveraged for both defensive and offensive cyber operations. It also underscores the growing threats posed by state-sponsored cyber activities and the challenges in attributing cyber attacks to specific entities in the complex and rapidly evolving cyberspace landscape.
