United States President Donald Trump has fired off a social media message calling on the head of the US technology firm Intel to resign from his post as chief executive officer. Trump's decision to denounce Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan on Thursday morning sent the company's stocks tumbling, amid the uncertainty about the future of its leadership. "The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately," Trump wrote. "There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!" Trump's post appeared to be a response to reports that Tan has invested nearly 200m in Chinese technology manufacturing and chip firms, including some with links to the country's military.

The Chinese Communist Party is a geopolitical cancer that will metastasize unless America can contain it with a once-in-a-generation investment in our national defense. Already, the CCP is actively colluding with Russia, prolonging Putin's war against Ukraine by blunting the impact of Western sanctions; it reaffirmed its support for Iran even after the deadly Oct. 7 attacks against Israel; and it has an explicit defense treaty with Kim Jung Un's North Korean dictatorship. To make matters even more dire, Chinese President Xi Jinping has instructed his People's Liberation Army to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. Chinese President Xi Jinping has instructed his People's Liberation Army to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. As George Washington counseled Congress in the nation's first ever inaugural address, "to be prepared for war is the most effectual means of preserving the peace."

In March, a largely overlooked, 90-page Government Accountability Office study revealed something interesting: This summer, the Pentagon is getting a new AI Strategy. Between shaping ethical norms for AI and establishing a new Chief Data and AI Officer, it's clear top brass have big plans for the technology, though the report is light on the details. Released in 2018, the last AI Strategy laid the scaffolding for the U.S. military's high-tech competition with China. But over the past four years one thing has become apparent: The United States needs a balanced approach to AI investment -- one that doesn't simply guard against threats, but also imposes costs on a Chinese force that sees AI as the key to victory. Undoubtedly, a military conflict between the United States and China would be catastrophic, and every effort must be taken to avoid such an outcome through diplomatic means.

China has prioritised Artificial Intelligence in its quest to become a powerful superpower under Xi Jinping. Beijing's interest in AI development and use stems from the fact that technology may be used for both civil and military objectives. As a result, while AI advances can benefit China's economy and healthcare, they can also help the People's Liberation Army (PLA) engage in "intelligent warfare", which PLA strategists define as "the implementation of artificial intelligence and its related technologies, such as cloud technology, data analytics, quantum information, and autonomous systems for military uses." AI and related technologies such as computer vision, human-machine teaming, neural connectivity, and autonomous systems also known as "intelligentized weapons", have been identified as critical to gaining an advantage in the next creation of warfare by China's military leaders and strategists. At the same time, they are concerned that other nations, particularly the United States, may surpass them in this area and develop the potential to overwhelm China's air defences and assault its command-and-control systems. As a result, China's central and provincial governments, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), all PLA branches, and the country's state- and privately-owned industries are all working together.

The U.S. military and China's People's Liberation Army are both pursuing artificial intelligence capabilities which could give them a leg up in future conflicts. PLA investment in AI is now on par with the Pentagon's, experts say. "Supported by a burgeoning AI defense industry, the Chinese military has made extraordinary progress in procuring AI systems for combat and support functions," according to a recent report from the Georgetown University Center for Security and Emerging Technology. The People's Liberation Army is most focused on procuring AI for intelligence analysis, predictive maintenance, information warfare, and navigation and target recognition in autonomous vehicles, said the study, "Harnessed Lightning: How the Chinese Military is Adopting Artificial Intelligence," by analysts Ryan Fedasiuk, Jennifer Melot and Ben Murphy. Additionally, laboratories affiliated with the Chinese military are actively pursuing AI-based target recognition and fire-control research, which may be used in lethal autonomous weapon systems, according to the authors.

Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin discusses a report alleging China is developing'brain control weapons' on'Fox Report.' Reports from India claim that China has started to deploy armed robotic vehicles to handle the altitude and terrain that has proven too difficult for its troops. China and India clashed in Sept. 2020 during a border dispute along the southern coast of Pangong Lake in an area known in China as Shenpaoshan and in India as Chushul, but the armies continued their standoff along the two nations' borders throughout 2021. China has now reportedly deployed unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) to the region of Tibet to strengthen its position. People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers march next to the entrance to the Forbidden City during the opening ceremony of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in Beijing on May 21, 2020.

On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin declared that Google's work in China is not a security concern. As he told CNBC, "I don't see any area -- again the president and I did diligence on this issue -- and we're not aware of any areas where Google is working with the Chinese government in any way that raises concerns." Google's most disturbing Chinese initiatives involve the co-development of technology. Cooperation of this sort is so injurious to the United States that it should be criminalized, by emergency presidential order. Google, the Alphabet Inc. unit, also believes its projects in China are benign.

China is taking its Big Brother approach to government one step further with plans to use CCTV cameras and artificial intelligence to follow people across the country. The plan from the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) would use the nation's network of surveillance to find wanted civilians. Known as EnsembleNet, the programme was trained using 2,000 clips from CCTV footage and is 90 per cent accurate, the firm claims. Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is hoping to use the nation's network of surveillance to find wanted civilians. Body shapes and discernible features are spotted, remembered and scanned for in other footage in the database.

WASHINGTON: A research arm of the US intelligence community just wrapped up a competition to see who could develop the best facial recognition technology. The challenge: identify as many passengers as possible walking on an aircraft boarding ramp. Of all the entries, it was a Chinese start-up company called Yitu Tech that walked away with the US$25,000 prize this month, the highest of three cash awards. The competition was one of many examples cited in a report by a US-based think tank about how China's military might leverage its country's rapid advances in artificial intelligence to modernise its armed forces and, potentially, seek advantages against the United States. "China is no longer in a position of technological inferiority relative to the United States but rather has become a true peer (competitor) that may have the capability to overtake the United States in AI," said the report, written by Elsa Kania at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) and due to be released on Tuesday.
