at Predicting Who Could Pose a Political Risk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a

you provided: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Predictive Surveillance Technology Development<\/strong>: Geedge Networks, a Chinese company, is working on AI-powered technology to predict potential dissidents by analyzing their internet and location data. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Dystopian Implications<\/strong>: The technology&#8217;s development represents a scary extension of mass surveillance into a preemptive tool for authoritarian control.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Use of Great Firewall<\/strong>: The company already offers surveillance and censorship technology similar to China&#8217;s Great Firewall, which monitors online activity to control it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Research Partnerships<\/strong>: Geedge, in cooperation with its government-backed research arm, aims to generate profiles of citizens to preemptively identify political risks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>U.S. Export Controls Impact<\/strong>: Export restrictions on advanced U.S. chips have slowed Geedge&#8217;s progress, but China is working to mitigate this by using less powerful, older hardware.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>International Reach<\/strong>: Geedge&#8217;s existing products are exported to various countries, enhancing global capabilities for state-sponsored surveillance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Profile-Based Predictions<\/strong>: Their research involves creating detailed profiles of individuals based on communications and online habits to predict intentions and \u201charmful\u201d information.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Technological Aspirations<\/strong>: There is potential for this predictive surveillance to be an exportable commodity from China, enhancing its global surveillance network. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Challenges in Advanced Deployment<\/strong>: While current generative surveillance tools are feasible, scaling up to more complex predictive analytics may hit computational limits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These concise points offer a glimpse into the controversial and potentially dystopian implications of the technology being developed by Geedge Networks.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China Aims A.I. at Predicting Who Could Pose a Political Risk
