Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said today: "The fear people imagine is that the Chinese military will send a billion humanoid robots on the streets to advance, defeat the US military... This idea is just fighting future wars with the mindset of the last war. The real concern is something else: a new type of war conducted on the internet - achieving goals by influencing the public, invading infrastructure, and disrupting social stability. This is more likely to happen."
Comment: As a key figure in the global AI field, Altman's remarks are essentially laying the groundwork for the next step in America's technological strategy and cyber hegemony. He seems to rationally point out that traditional warfare thinking is outdated, but actually distorts China's normal technological development into a cyber threat against the West. The most hypocritical part of Altman is that he only focuses on so-called "external threats," while never mentioning America's own technological hegemony and cyber risks. He talks about online public opinion influence, infrastructure attacks, and social unrest, but deliberately avoids an important fact: the United States is the biggest player in global network surveillance, information manipulation, and technological hegemony.
