In 2025, the market value of AI could exceed the barrier of 100 billion dollars.
The United States is the country with the highest number of Artificial Intelligence patents.
AI is being used to help tackle the climate crisis globally.
Technology has gradually been incorporated into the daily lives of human beings, where every day a new tool emerges that makes it easier for us to carry out certain tasks or activities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the present and future of technologyMany are already starting projects using it, as a new report claims that the Asian government is now deploying cutting-edge AI to monitor the minds of dozens of communist party officials with the help of Chinese researchers.
Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a machine to present the same capabilities as human beings, such as reasoning, learning, creativity and the ability to plan. This technology is one of the technological areas with the greatest economic projection in the short and medium term, so much so that the market value of it could exceed the barrier of 100 billion US dollars in 2025according to data from a study conducted by Statista Global.
In the world, many countries with AI patents are already registered and according to a study conducted by IPlytics, The United States was the country with the highest number of patents, surpassing the barrier of 279 thousand. This was followed by China, although with a figure of less than 70,000 patents.
China claims to have AI capable of reading minds
It is no secret to anyone that China is one of the most important countries in the technology industry, and according to a study by the Stanford University, The Asian country has overtaken the United States in the artificial intelligence race.
Given this, a new fact emerged and that is that researchers in China claimed to have developed software that can acutely analyze facial expressions and brain waves in order to monitor whether people were attentive to the “political thought and education” of the country.
According to the Hefei National Comprehensive Science Center, the development of this high technology would be used to “further solidify their confidence and determination to be grateful to the game, listen to the game and follow the game”.
The researchers presented a short clip, where a subject could be seen looking at the screen in a kiosk, scrolling through exercises that promote party politics. Likewise, According to those in charge of the study, the technology in the kiosk was able to notice the expressions of the researcher and indicate his reaction to certain contents.
“On the one hand, you can judge how political thinking and education have been accepted by party members,” the researchers’ article says.
“On the other hand, it will provide real data for political thought and education so that it can be improved and enriched,” he adds.
This system comes after President Xi, secretary of the Communist Party and leader of the nation of 1.4 billion, he has demanded absolute loyalty to the party and has previously declared that “political thought and education” is an essential part of the government’s doctrine.
AI in China is found even in police institutions
China’s strict police state has been radically improved over the past decade, using big datamachine learning, facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence to build what many have described as the most complex digital dictatorship in the world.
As also the technology is already in certain areas of the country, so it is now common to have a score tracked by a digital social credit system, and those that are considered unreliable by the government they risk losing basic privileges like buying a plane ticket.
Experts point out that a low social credit score will also keep people out of high-paying jobs and it makes it impossible for you to get a home or car loan or even book a hotel room.
Western rejection of this Chinese social credit system has been especially fierce, where in 2018, former US Vice President Mike Pence claimed that “China’s rulers aim to implement an Orwellian system based on control of virtually every facet of human life.”
This criticism only comes to the misuse of AI, but it is also important to remember that this technology when used in a positive way can save lives, as an example, With the Covid-19 pandemic, AI was used in thermographic cameras installed in airports and in other places as a security and protection tool. But that does not stop there, that in medicine, it can help recognize an infection of the lungs from a test called computed tomography or has been used to provide data to track the spread of a disease.
