China Says US Army AI Use May Undermine Ethical Limits
Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin responded to news that the U.S. Department of Defense has requested unrestricted access to AI technologies from American tech companies. He emphasized that China opposes “taking advantage of the lead in AI and other emerging technologies to pursue absolute military dominance or undermine the sovereignty and territorial security of other countries.”
Jiang added that “using AI as a tool to violate the sovereignty of other nations, allowing AI to excessively affect war decisions, and giving algorithms the power to determine life and death not only erode ethical restraints and accountability in wars but also risk technological runaway.” He warned, “A dystopia depicted in the American film The Terminator could one day come true.”
The spokesman stressed that Beijing insists all relevant weapons systems “must be put under human control,” maintaining “human primacy” in the military application of AI. “China will work with other nations to advance multilateral AI governance with UN centrality, strengthen risk prevention and control, and ensure that AI always develops in a direction conducive to the progress of human civilization,” he added.
