AI Infiltrates the Propaganda War: Chinese Company Uses National Security Law to Manipulate Hong Kong Public Opinion
A.I.滲透宣傳戰 中國公司借《國安法》操控香港輿論
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence has ushered the global information war into a new era. US scholars specialising in international security affairs said Chinese technology company GoLaxy had become a “leader” in this field. After the National Security Law was implemented in 2020, it suppressed opposing voices in Hong Kong; in 2024, it intervened in Taiwan’s elections, and it is now preparing to enter the US market, posing an unprecedented threat to democratic systems worldwide. Brett J. Goldstein and Brett V. Benson, professors at Vanderbilt University, co-authored a commentary published in The New York Times yesterday (the 5th). They said that, based on a large number of documents recently uncovered by them at the Institute of National Security, GoLaxy was able to combine generative artificial intelligence with vast databases of personal information. The system could continuously mine data from social media platforms, build dynamic psychological profiles, and tailor content according to individuals’ values, beliefs, emotional tendencies and vulnerabilities.
生成式人工智能（Generative AI）的急速發展，使環球資訊戰進入一個全新時代。美國有專門研究國際安全事務的學者表示，中國科技公司「中科天璣」已升級為這方面的「領先者」，2020年在《國安法》實施後壓制香港反對聲音，2024年再出招干預台灣大選，目前更準備進軍美國，對全球民主制度構成前所未有的威脅。 高德斯坦（Brett J. Goldstein）與賓森（Brett V. Benson）是范登堡大學（Vanderbilt University）教授，兩人昨（5日）在《紐約時報》聯署發表評論文章指，根據他們在國家安全研究所（Institute of National Security）最近發現的大量文件，「中科天璣」（GoLaxy）能夠將生成式人工智能，與龐大的個人數據庫結合，系統能不斷從社交平台挖掘數據，建立動態的心理輪廓，並根據個人的價值觀、信念、情緒傾向與弱點，度身打造專屬內容。
