The system not only tracks, but also analyzes the behavioral patterns of goals.
China has stepped up its intelligence operations using artificial intelligence. According to The New York Times, the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MGB) has developed an AI system to improve the efficiency of tracking foreign diplomats, military officers and intelligence officers in the embassy district of Beijing. This system not only tracks, but also analyzes the behavioral patterns of goals.
"During the pandemic, in meetings with Chinese technology contractors, China's spies, faced with the limitations of existing surveillance systems, expressed dissatisfaction that surveillance cameras did not meet their needs. They requested an artificial intelligence program that could create instant dossiers and analyze the behavioral patterns of individuals of interest to them," the publication writes. At the same time, they proposed transmitting information from databases and multiple cameras to the AI program, including not only car license plates and mobile phone data, but also contact information and other important data.
According to The New York Times, AI-generated profiles allow Chinese agents to efficiently select and track targets, identifying their networks of connections and potential vulnerabilities.
According to the latest reports, today Chinese agents in Beijing got what they asked for: an AI system that tracks American spies and other important people in the Chinese capital.
These developments reflect the growing ambitions of the MGB and its desire to compete with the world's leading intelligence agencies. In response, The New York Times notes that the United States has significantly increased its intelligence efforts in China, doubling spending since the start of the Biden administration, underscoring the growing tension between the two countries in the field of intelligence and technology.
