China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is actively pursuing generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to gather and analyze military intelligence, according to a threat analysis report published on June 17.
U.S.-based Insikt Group, the research division of threat intelligence consultancy Recorded Future, examined articles in PLA-affiliated media, research papers, patent applications, and procurement orders, and said the material showed the Chinese military’s “clear interest” in generative AI tools.
