Beijing - While AI researchers in the United States fret over out-of-control superintelligence wiping out humanity, Chinese policymakers have until now been more focused on immediate risks -- from deepfakes to child safety. But the alarming hacking abilities of top artificial intelligence models are leading Beijing to see the dangers in a new light, with the spy agency chief warning last week that the technology could jeopardize national security. The potential vulnerability of Chinese mega-app WeChat was also revealed recently when a small team of programmers in California said it had used AI to build a cyberattack "worm" that, if unleashed, could easily compromise millions of WeChat accounts.

People walk past a sign reading No drone zone in an alley in Beijing on Sept. 14. | AFP-JIJI Beijing - Drone owners in Beijing flocked to designated buy-back sites in recent days, looking to sell their devices for as much as possible ahead of an impending citywide ban. New rules in the Chinese capital ban not just the flying of unmanned aerial vehicles but the possession or storage of them, meaning owners have until November 15 to get rid of their drones. At several authorized buyer sites across the city, reporters witnessed queues of people waiting for staff to appraise their drones and negotiate prices. All sites had a visible police presence, indicating the sensitivity of the new laws, and most people there did not want to talk to reporters. At the flagship store for the world's largest drone-maker DJI in Beijing's business district, around a dozen people queued on Thursday morning hoping to sell their drones back for a reasonable price.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the White House in Washington on Friday. Washington - U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Saturday that he plans to appoint a new artificial intelligence adviser and create an "AI force," though he did not provide details about either initiative or how they would be implemented. Fears are growing in Washington among lawmakers about the risks posed by AI technology on humans and property. Earlier this month, former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said that "people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade." Trump has repeatedly downplayed concerns about AI and argued that additional regulation is unnecessary.

'This is an apartheid regime' Does Trump have real leverage over Netanyahu? A handful of electronic components, a few wires and a basic programmable circuit board are enough to bring a group of curious children around a table in central Gaza to learn about robotics. Students at The Next Gen Team: Rising Robotics Engineer Project in Deir el-Balah learn how to integrate sensors into alarm systems, study robotics, understand how motors and drive units work, as well as get firsthand experience with programming. The robotics and early warning systems they are working on could make way for bigger developments such as early detection of gas leaks and fires or help rescue workers access hard-to-reach areas, such as victims trapped under rubble. Today's lesson will also teach students the sciences of the future and help them keep pace with technological advancements happening outside Gaza's borders. Before the war, students had access to schools, universities, incubators and training programmes to pursue an interest in technology.
