@PolymarketBREAKING: Britain’s MI5 accuses China of spying on the UK’s world-class AI research.
@Express_KnowlesNEW Espionage Alert: MI5 has warned British academics that they are helping Chinese intelligence officers upgrade their spying arsenal. More than 100 researchers have contributed to projects funded by the China General Technology Research Institute. And university staff are inadvertently helping Beijing to boost their AI systems, providing insights into cybersecurity, upgrading covert communications systems and improving steganography (hiding secret messages). MI5 warned that the “primary purpose” of the CGTRI is to “fund academic research that directly improves MSS (Chinese Ministry of State Security) technical capability for espionage”.
