Former Meta director accused company of secret assistance to China with AI
Former Meta director for global public policy Sarah Wynn-Williams is preparing to give sensational testimony before the US Senate. She claims that Mark Zuckerberg’s company secretly helped China develop artificial intelligence technologies while misleading legislators and the public.
Meta company representative Andy Stone categorically denies these accusations, calling them “detached from reality and filled with false statements”.
According to Wynn-Williams, Meta began conducting briefings for the Chinese Communist Party on the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence, back in 2015. The goal of these actions was supposedly, I quote “to help China surpass American companies” and, I quote “increase China’s global influence”.
She also stated that there is a direct connection between these briefings and recent reports about China developing artificial intelligence models for military use based on Meta’s LLaMA model.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
Google company released a report on Health AI Agents of 150 pages. That's 7,000 annotations, over 1,100 hours of expert work. Link in description. Numbers impressive, yes. But the point isn't in metrics. The point is they buried the very idea of an omnipotent AI doctor. And this is perhaps the most honest thing that happened in this industry recently.
You know what's considered a fun prank among teenagers now? Sending parents a photo of a homeless vagrant in their own living room. AI draws it, TikTok approves it, and let parents have hysteria. That's the kind of fun going around social media.
California became the first state to officially shut up AI companion chatbots. Governor Gavin Newsom signed a historic law that requires operators of such bots to implement safety protocols.
Elon Musk decided his artificial intelligence got bored without work. And now xAI company will engage in creating virtual worlds. Moreover, not just beautiful pictures, but real simulations. Where objects interact with each other according to physical laws. They'll start, of course, with games - where would we be without them in 2025.
Imagine. A plane crashed, everyone died except one person. The worst aviation disaster in 10 years. And here 2 engineers from India say they figured out how to prevent this. Giant airbags controlled by artificial intelligence that will wrap a falling plane in a protective cocoon. Sounds like science fiction? And they're already nominated for the James Dyson Award.
