The Father Of China’s Great Firewall Warns Of The Dangers Of Ai Like GPT-4

China is adding to the difficulties for tech companies to share their AI-based products with the Chinese Republic due to the fear that AI would adversely affect and manipulate the population.

Fang Bingxing, the key figure in China’s Great Firewall, has expressed his fears about GPT-4, warning that it could force an "information cocoon" due to its generative artificial intelligence tool, which can provide solutions to everything.

Fang claims that the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT poses a clear challenge to governments around the world.

"As people seek all kinds of answers from AI, their perspectives can be manipulated," Fang said.

Fang is generally regarded as the primary architect of China’s well known internet filtering and monitoring system.

The Great Firewall has been established exceedingly over the last decade, which prevents Chinese netizens from accessing a broad variety of foreign poratls and online services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google.

Despite clear issues between China’s ChatGPT options and their foreign counterparts, the frenzy sparked by ChatGPT continues in China after Microsoft unveiled its provocative AI-powered office tools.

Fang warned about AI advances and how they may pose a danger to humans.

Previously, in February, Zhou Hongyi, a Chinese billionaire and co-founder and CEO of the internet security firm Qihoo 360, claimed that ChatGPT could become self-aware and pose harm to humans within 2 to 3 years.
