China claims terrorists have ‘armed’ themselves with AI-created genetic weapons that target specific races.
Ministry of State Security released a statement on WeChat announcing that ‘certain’ non-governmental organizations recruited Chinese ‘volunteers’ to collect biodiversity distribution data under the guise of biological species research.
The statement noted that these foreign nations are engineering weapons that hunt out genetic differences associated with ethnicity or race.
It comes after Independent presidential hopeful RFK Jr claimed Covid-19 was ‘ethnically targeted’ to not effect Jewish or Chinese people in a bizarre rant.
‘Compared with traditional biological weapons and chemical weapons, genetic weapons are more concealable, deceptive, easy to spread and harmful in the long-term, and are difficult to prevent, difficult to isolate, and low-cost. Once used in war, the consequences will be devastating,’ the ministry wrote.
President Joe Biden’s sweeping order aims to ensure safety testing of models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard are conducted, and government officials review results before they are publicly released.
The president believes this method will ensure AI is not used to create nukes or biological and genetic weapons.
While China believes its nation is a target, presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr has previously stated that the Chinese are the ones developing ethnic bioweapons.
The Independent candidate also noted that Covid-19 was engineered to spare Jewish and Chinese people.
China’s Ministry of State Security alleges these foreign nations could attack its people as the organization used Chinese people to steal species data, which was uploaded to a smartphone app.
According to the Global Times, if an AI model is fed enough human genetic samples, it can analyze and understand the unique genetic characteristics of each ethnic group.
‘Maintaining biosecurity is a shared responsibility of all of society. Everyone should establish a sense of biosafety and draw wisdom from the lessons learned in dealing with biosafety risks, such as public health emergencies,’ said the ministry.
The news comes two years after a report claimed Chinese scientists are preparing for a Third World War fought with biological and genetic weapons.
The bombshell paper insists they will be ‘the core weapon for victory’ in such a conflict, even outlining the perfect conditions to release a bioweapon and documenting the impact it would have on ‘the enemy’s medical system.’
This latest evidence that Beijing considered the military potential of SARS coronaviruses from as early as 2015 has also raised fresh fears over the cause of Covid-19, with some officials still believing the virus could have escaped from a Chinese lab.
The dossier by People’s Liberation Army scientists and health officials, details of which were reported in, examined the manipulation of diseases to make weapons ‘in a way never seen before.’
