China laid out conditions for artificial intelligence talks with the U.S., striking a strident tone ahead of a much-anticipated meeting while accusing American AI company Anthropic PBC of bad behavior.<\/p>\n
A Sunday post on Yuyuantantian, a social media account affiliated with Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, said the US must prove its AI companies are subject to the same safety, disclosure and audit rules before any \u201csubstantive\u201d discussions with China can take place.<\/p>\n
\u201cA clear distinction must be drawn between genuine security threats and mere technological competition,\u201d said the post, published by an account frequently used to signal official policy thinking. \u201cThis line must be drawn jointly by all participating parties,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
Officials from the U.S. and China are expected to hold talks on AI before Xi Jinping\u2019s state visit to the U.S. on Sept. 24 for a summit with Donald Trump. <\/p>\n
No date has been announced for that AI dialogue and Chinese officials last month were still seeking clarity on the agenda, in part to decide who to send, Bloomberg previously reported.<\/p>\n
Tensions are mounting around the AI race between the world\u2019s biggest economies. Underscoring that point, Yuyuantantian singled out Anthropic\u2019s Claude for criticism, accusing that model of overstepping user data boundaries, engaging in covert monitoring and transmitting website domains without authorization. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem is that America\u2019s own frontier models have already developed in a distorted direction,\u201d Yuyuantantian\u2019s post said. \u201cThis means the negotiation is not simply a technical dialogue from the start, but a continuation of all the earlier problems: the US is trying to turn the \u2018safety boundaries\u2019 it has drawn into the default rules for the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The U.S. government should be guarding security boundaries around AI, yet it has \u201crepeatedly retreated\u201d from doing so, according to the post titled \u201cAnthropic Has Contracted the American Disease.\u201d <\/p>\n
Anthropic and the U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent outside U.S. office hours.<\/p>\n
The Yuyuantantian post said the US approach to AI reflects a broader effort to contain China\u2019s technological rise. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe \u2018control\u2019 proposed by the US is, in essence, an attempt to make China accept an order partly defined by American companies,\u201d it added. <\/p>\n
Chinese officials are growing anxious that Anthropic\u2019s Mythos could be wielded against their country, Bloomberg previously reported. <\/p>\n
They see the potential for models like Mythos to be used as an offensive weapon, and question why Anthropic is denying China access to the systems for normal purposes, people familiar said.<\/p>\n
Anthropic blocked its services from Chinese-controlled companies last year, citing US national security concerns. But that does not seem to have effectively stopped Chinese companies from using its products.<\/p>\n
The firm, along with OpenAI and Alphabet Inc.\u2019s Google, has expressed concern about its models being used in China. Anthropic has also accused Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. of \u201cillicitly\u201d accessing Claude using thousands of fraudulent accounts, an allegation the Chinese tech giant has not responded to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China laid out conditions for artificial intelligence talks with the U.S., striking a strident tone ahead of a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,3224,53,25,387,76392,182,527,9137,76391,76394,1129,156,76393,128,76390],"class_list":["post-156867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ai","tag-ai","tag-ai-company","tag-anthropic","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-china","tag-chinese-official-last-month","tag-claude","tag-model","tag-problem","tag-sunday-post","tag-tough-term","tag-u-s","tag-us","tag-us-china-ai-safety-talk","tag-world","tag-yuyuantantian"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
