Abstract
with the rapid development of AI technologies and applications, private companies, civil society groups, and social movements can utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance their operational capabilities and influence, and as a result, the use of AI for various purposes is increasingly in the hands of non-state actors (NSs). Therefore, the impact of AI on Chinese society, politics and values in China is fundamental to understanding this phenomenon. Addressing the impact of the use of AI by NS is an urgent challenge, as this technology represents a “double-edged sword.” In this paper, we aim to examine the impact of AI adoption on the situation in China by non-state actors (NSs) using SWOT analysis method to reveal the relationship between technological development and social consequences. In doing so, we intend to contribute to the necessary discussion on how to responsibly and justly utilize AI systems in the specific context of Chinese society. The outcome of this article will not only identify potential ways to mitigate risks, but also provide an effective policy framework to maximize the benefits of AI while preserving societal values.
