UK side claims China may frequently use AI to conduct hacking operations by 2028, Foreign Ministry refutes
English text is being prepared.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on November 4 refuted the annual report of the UK National Cyber Security Centre, which claimed that China is "highly likely" to frequently use AI to conduct hacking operations by 2028. Mao Ning stated that China expresses serious concern over the UK side's use of speculative language to smear China in the absence of evidence, and pointed out that the cybersecurity risks brought about by AI are a common challenge for all countries, which should be jointly addressed by formulating new international rules at the United Nations.

11月4日，外交部发言人毛宁主持例行记者会。 有记者提问，据报道，英国政府通讯总部下属国家网络安全中心3日发布年度网络安全报告称，中国是人工智能技术大国。到2028年，中国“极有可能”频繁利用AI开展黑客行动，是英国面临的“最复杂、最持久的”网络威胁。中方对此有何评论？ 毛宁表示，我们注意到相关报道。中方对英方在缺乏证据的情况下，使用推测性语言抹黑中国表示严重关切。人工智能引发的网络安全风险是各国面临的共同挑战，应当在联合国制定新的国际规则共同应对。 令人遗憾的是，英方此前长期将网络安全问题政治化，现在又借黑客攻击的“旧瓶”装打压中国人工智能发展的“新酒”，这种错误做法无助于增进中英互信，也将损害英方在全球人工智能安全治理合作中的信誉。中方一贯主张，人工智能发展应当坚持向上、向善、开放、普惠，统筹安全与发展，确保安全、可靠、可控。
