AI BriefingCampaign to Promote US AI and Warn of Chinese Threat
Key point
A covert campaign targeting influencers has been uncovered, aimed at promoting US AI and portraying China's AI advancement as a threat.
Details
It has been alleged that a nonprofit called Build American AI is running a campaign that mobilizes influencers to promote the superiority of US AI while emphasizing security threats posed by China's AI technology advancement.
The campaign is reportedly structured in two main phases:
- Phase 1: Naturally embedding American-made AI into lifestyle content to instill positive perceptions.
- Phase 2: Emphasizing the potential risks that China's AI advancement poses to jobs, data privacy, and national security.
Experts warn that such campaigns can distort public perception by presenting content as individual opinion without transparently disclosing its political and corporate background.
Meanwhile, China is also pursuing a sophisticated influence strategy, using state media and local influencers as part of a 'soft power' approach to promote the legitimacy of its own technology and counter regulatory moves in the West.
