China as digital dictatorship

China continues to actively build a digital dictatorship over its citizens

client/title.list_title

In order to control society, it is introducing 50 new AI (artificial intelligence - ed.) standards.

Including ideological ones.

How will it work?

The Communist Party of China announced that these 50 new AI standards will promote and encourage standards in the information ecosystem of about 1000 Chinese companies.

AI generating models will be obliged to create and maintain narratives about China's socialist ideals on social media.

At the same time, data center operators will first identify the dissidents and then protect users from these unscrupulous entities.

They say that it will be exclusively content protection (a kind of shadow ban).

But knowing how the Chinese intelligence services work, I do not exclude that in addition to the shadow bank, dissidents will also receive a physical “ban”.

China is rapidly moving towards a digital dictatorship that will control every thought of its citizens.

Let's keep an eye on these both dangerous and interesting processes.
