The level of control of people in China is only made possible by their huge use of AI. George Soros complained about AI in China and it's political ramifications there in a recent speech at Stanford in January that went over this and other topics in U.S China relations. Below is an excerpt. Btw, this is his official site with the whole speech transcript. https://www.georgesoros.com/2022/01/31/george-soros-on-china-remarks-delivered-at-the-hoover-institution/ https://www.georgesoros.com/2022/01/31/george-soros-on-china... " In theory, AI is morally and ethically neutral; it can be used for good or bad. But in practice, its effect is asymmetric. AI is particularly good at producing instruments of control that help repressive regimes and endanger open societies. Interestingly, the Coronavirus reinforced the advantage repressive regimes enjoy by legitimizing the use of personal data for public control purposes. With these advantages, one might think that Xi Jinping, who collects personal data for the surveillance of his citizens more aggressively than any other ruler in history, is bound to be successful.
