[The New York Times: China Views Western 'AI Apocalypse Narrative' as a Strategy to Slow Down Its AI Companies] [Golden Finance Report, September 28] According to a report by The New York Times, the article pointed out that recent apocalyptic warnings from the West about artificial intelligence's 'existential risks' are widely seen in China as a uniquely Western narrative or interpreted as a strategy aimed at slowing down Chinese AI companies in their race to catch up with U.S. counterparts. The Global Times referred to Anthropic CEO Amodei's safety claims as having a 'hidden agenda' and linked them to U.S. chip restrictions on China. The report suggests this highlights fundamental differences between China and the U.S. on AI safety issues, while also noting that Beijing has expressed internal concerns about AI risks. China has previously criticized the spreading of AI threat narratives, confrontation, and malicious competition, arguing that such actions only disrupt the global AI governance process.
