On his recent trip to China, Twitter owner Elon Musk was reportedly made privy to the nation's plans to launch new regulations on artificial intelligence (AI). The tech billionaire made his first comment on the two-day visit while speaking during a Twitter livestream with Robert Kennedy Jr, a Republican presidential hopeful, the nephew of John F. Kennedy.

<h2>What did Elon Musk say?</h2>

"Something that is worth noting is that on my recent trip to China, with the senior leadership there, we had, I think, some very productive discussions on artificial intelligence risks, and the need for some oversight or regulation."&nbsp;

"And my understanding from those conversations is that China will be initiating AI regulation in China," added Musk.

"I pointed out that if there is a digital super intelligence that is overwhelmingly powerful, developed in China, it is actually a risk to the sovereignty of the Chinese government," he said.

Musk added that he thinks that "they (China) took that concern to heart."

As per AFP, Musk didn't elaborate on his discussions with China. However, he is believed to have been referring to China's new sweeping draft law on AI.

<h2>China's sweeping draft law on AI</h2>

China's new law requires new artificial intelligence products to undergo a security assessment before release. The AI products will also be subjected to a process that ensures that they reflect "core socialist values".

Called "Administrative Measures for Generative Artificial Intelligence Services" the edict reportedly bans content promoting "terrorist or extremist propaganda," "ethnic hatred" or "other content that may disrupt economic and social order" in the country.

As per AFP, under China's highly centralised political system, the measures are almost certain to become law.

Musk did not tweet while in China, a nation where social media is highly regulated. Additionally, Tesla hasn't released readouts of his meetings with Chinese officials.

However, official Chinese channels, as per AFP, claimed that he lavished praise on China, praising the country for its "vitality and promise," and even expressed "full confidence in the China market."

Musk's extensive interests in China have long raised eyebrows in Washington, reports AFP.&nbsp;

Previously the Tesla CEO had stirred controversy by suggesting that self-rule Taiwan — which Beijing has long claimed as its renegade province — should become a part of China. This stance was openly welcomed by China, however, it left Taipei miffed.

Elon Musk reveals China's plans to regulate artificial intelligence

As artificial intelligence(AI) technology gathers momentum worldwide, reports claim China has developed an AI "prosecutor" which can charge people using the high-end technology.

According to Chinese researchers, the AI "prosecutor" can file charges against an accused with over 97 per cent accuracy based on verbal description.

The machine has reportedly been built by Shanghai Pudong People's Procuratorate. In a paper published by Chinese researchers, they&nbsp;said the AI technology can help lessen the workload of prosecutors and it has the ability to replace prosecutors in the decision-making process in&nbsp;some cases.

The new technology can reportedly be used on a desktop computer as it analyses billions of data stored in its system. The AI machine was reportedly trained using thousands of cases between 2015 to 2020. It can reportedly spot dangerous driving, credit card fraud, gambling operations including theft and fraud with upgrades likely to be put into the system by the researchers.

However, some prosecutors are wary about the new technology. They say the "AI prosecutor" could make a mistake in complicated cases. Also, the fact that it has been trained in previous cases would make it unreliable in new cases under ever changing social environment.

Recently, UK's MI-6 chief Richard Moore had said that, "Chinese intelligence services are highly capable and continue to conduct large scale espionage operations against the UK and our allies."

Moore had expressed concern over Chinese government's attempt to "distort public discourse" and "political decision-making across the globe"&nbsp;as he pointed out that&nbsp;&nbsp;"adversaries are pouring money and ambition into mastering&nbsp;artificial&nbsp;intelligence and&nbsp;quantum computing.

Now, China develops AI 'prosecutor'

China and Russia, according to the head of Britain's foreign spy agency, are accelerating their efforts to master artificial intelligence and this might transform geopolitics over the next decade.

Extracts from the speech, released by the British government in advance, suggest that Richard Moore, the chief of the Secret Intelligence Service known as MI6, will talk about quantum engineering, engineered&nbsp;biology, and advances in computer power, and how they present a threat that needs to be addressed by the West.

Global spies, from Langley and London to Moscow and Beijing, struggle with technological advances that are challenging the traditional human-led spying operations of the past.

"Our adversaries are pouring money and ambition into mastering artificial intelligence, quantum computing and synthetic biology, because they know that mastering these technologies will give them leverage," Moore, who rarely surfaces for speeches, will say on Tuesday.

According to Moore, who became MI6 chief in 2020, technological progress over the next decade will outpace every technological advance made in the last century.

"As a society, we have yet to internalise this stark fact and its potential impact on global geopolitics. But it is a white-hot focus for MI6," he said.

The Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies, which have harnessed a wide range of sophisticated technologies at a faster rate than Western intelligence agencies, are of particular concern to the West's spies.

The West is concerned that Beijing will dominate all emerging technologies within decades, including artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, and genetics.

Along with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 which ended the Cold War, the rise of China's economy and military over the past 40 years is considered one of the most significant geopolitical events of the 21st century.

MI6, which has been portrayed by novelists as the employer of some of the most memorable fictional spies, from John le Carré's George Smiley to Ian Fleming's James Bond, operates overseas and is responsible for defending the United Kingdom, &amp; its interests.

Adapting to new technology will require a change in the service, Moore said.

"We cannot hope to replicate the global tech industry, so we must tap into it," he will say. "We must become more open, to stay secret."
