China has an important role to play in ensuring that artificial intelligence serves humanity rather than replacing it, RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan has said.
\nShe made the remarks during a lengthy interview with Zhang Weiwei, a professor of international relations at Fudan University who hosts \u2018China Now\u2019 on Shanghai\u2019s Dragon TV, which aired on Wednesday.
\nRT\u2019s editor-in-chief expressed concern that rapidly developing artificial intelligence \u201cis already changing people, and I fear that it will change and then replace humanity\u201d at some point in the future.
\n\u201cBut I still have hope that a country as sensible as we are [Russia], yet far more advanced in terms of technological sovereignty than we are, a high-tech country like China… might invent some way, some antidote… to prevent artificial intelligence from getting out of control,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Beijing has what it takes to come up with solutions that will provide for the technology continuing to be \u201csimply an assistant, thanks to which we will conquer death, conquer disease, conquer technological backwardness, conquer hunger. But we\u2019re not obeying it \u2013 it obeys us,\u201d Simonyan stressed.
\nIn its current state, AI already poses a threat to the sovereignty of Russia and China, according to Simonyan.
\n\u201cSmall children interact more closely with their [AI] assistants… And this artificial intelligence is learning, using Western platforms… and therefore Western narratives. And very soon, all of us will have a completely different history of the world in our heads,\u201d she said.
\nZhang replied by pointing out that DeepSeek, the best-known Chinese large language model, is also learning from both local and Western sources, but operates \u201cwithin the logic of the Chinese language\u201d and in line with country\u2019s values and cultural heritage.
\nBeijing\u2019s whole approach to AI is different from the American one, where its controlled by a handful of big tech companies and only serves the rich, he argued.<\/p>\n
