Аннотация:This chapter examines the current and future threats to China’s psychological security caused by the malicious use of artificial intelligence (MUAI), as well as the response measures taken by the Chinese government. The experience of China is important due to many factors—among them a combination of elements of a planned and market economy, as well the country’s leadership in numerous areas within the AI industry. At the same time, China is facing negative trends that create a fertile ground for MUAI (e.g., governance disagreements in Hong Kong and Taiwan, terrorism, and growing pressure on China on the world stage from its main AI rival, the US). The authors paid special attention to such current and future threats of MUAI in the field of psychological security of China as phishing, MUAI in videogames, deepfakes, and chatbots. The measures taken by the Chinese government in the fight against the monopoly of IT companies in the information sphere, measures to limit the negative impacts of AI products on public consciousness, and the liberalization of legislation regarding autonomous systems were also evaluated.
