China's Artificial Intelligence Replace Humans and Facially Dictates Social Status & Ranking
China’s Government Races to Dominate AI for a “Faster, Safer, & Efficient'“ Environment

China has undoubtedly progressed toward the complete dominator as the most technologically advanced country in regards to Artificial Intelligence and it’s cutting edge systems. China’s President Xin Jingping is goaling for China to be the world’s leader in AI technology by 2030. On one end the country is putting in astronomical efforts through this AI system to boost its economy though NBC News reports that the technology was developed in the United States, “China is grappling with a slowdown that will see output growth slide to the weakest pace in almost three decades this year, as factors far beyond the trade war with the U.S. weigh on the world’s second-largest economy,” according to Bloomberg. China is also sparing no expense using their AI advancement to crack down on citizens and crack down as in below ground-level as it’s connecting to the “Concentration Camps” or “Death Camps” in which Xinjiang is known for.
China’s Aggregated Facial Recognition Data
In an effort to improve lives and to amplify connectivity, data-driven technology is promised upon the world but not in China. The facial recognition technology implemented by China is instead power abused and used to gain greater state control. The technology is groundbreaking in it’s on right being that China has already integrated it into everyday use like drawing cash from the ATM, checking in at airports, and purchasing goods, even extending to being able to detect what people are thinking and their emotions. The Chinese government has high interest in utilizing this brand new biometric technology to stand 10 toes deep into its authoritarian govern, furtherly developing a broad national surveillance system based on facial recognition. This system will be utilized to watch over it’s population of 1.4 billion citizens in ways not thought of and hard to fathom. China is already using this AI technology to name and shame it’s people, even for little offenses like jaywalking, stealing a roll of toilet paper from public restrooms, talking to a blogger or interviewing with reporters of any stature without government permission. These are little things that are easily taken for granted in other countries for instance within the democracy of the United States (appreciate your liberty U.S. citizens, I sure do). China’s police officers are even beta-testing sunglasses and body cameras loaded with this artificially intelligent facial and gesture recognition technology. This trial-era technology is already helping them to identify wanted criminals or suspects in real time.
Public Rankings
This unprecedented technology utilizing biometric AI tracks everything from emotions to people’s sexuality, will have large helps due to the huge and vast network of CCTV surveillance cameras. The Chinese government have already planted 170 million of these in place and it’s estimated that there will be 400 million new one’s installed over the next few years. As it continues to develop the threshold of abuse will continue to dissipate reaching higher possibilities of a type of ‘corruption’ within the government on its citizens. Hongshen Kwai whose a former magazine editor was ousted by the Chinese government telling The Economist, “These surveillance cameras are absolutely everywhere, what I’m most afraid of is that all my activities will be monitored and this is a very scary thing.” The former magazine editor also added, “Everyone is under close surveillance in their daily lives. You can’t do anything the government dislikes. If this is the way it is, it’s like entering a state of totalitarianism.” Ethnic minority groups are the most at risk in this hyper-surveillance outlook like in Xinjiang, where the Chinese government are weary of separatist and a possible ‘threat’ that they impose with their religious practices like the Muslim Uyghur population.
Social Credit Score/ Points
Profiting by advances in such as shrouded cameras (in excess of 200 million cameras line the roads all over China) and facial recognition programming, the administration is chipping away at a framework that will rate every resident as far as his or her social credit. One proposed model for this framework has every individual evaluated on a size of 350-950. Evaluations are influenced dependent on data, for example, how much debt one owes (which may be made freely accessible), one's history of jaywalking, one's history of volunteerism (or deficiency in that department), recorded occurrences of tattling, and that's just the beginning.
Also, there are relied upon to be results to this framework. Generally high scores will prompt limits on different items, while low scores will prompt reformatory activities, for example, being disallowed from buying plane tickets. Sounds a little Black Mirror-ish, don’t you think? The Chinese government is popular for finding a way to keep residents in line. Furthermore, this new framework appears as though it can possibly propel this reason. Certainly, there might be motivations to condemning of the possibility of this framework and there will probably be some unfavorable and unintended outcomes.

China’s Shipping/ Port Logistics
In a world known as China, sprawling ports can be found using heavy renditions of AI technology can be seen replacing human workers. Instead the port looks more like a machine factory on the premises of a port, utilizing driverless automatic crane platforms that drive around like little pickup trucks with no driver area or driver in sight, loading and dropping off shipping containers. The commercialisation of autonomous driving brings about cost-efficiency for the logistics in China’s ports but also conjures a main concern for lawmakers and that is safety. Real world testing of these AV’s or autonomous vehicles on the road is crucially important for the software’s in these vehicles to learn from actual driving scenarios and situations.
In China, only Shanghai and Beijing allow tests on open road for self-driving vehicles to teach their software how to be the perfect robot in it’s execution. This data is crucial for human safety when it comes to the technology & success rate in autonomous vehicles. The greatest security to a self-sufficient vehicle is that a robot is certifiably not human—it is customized to comply with every one of the guidelines of the street, won't speed, and can't be diverted by an instant message gleaming onto a telephone. Furthermore, speculatively in any event, AVs can likewise distinguish what people can't—particularly around evening time or in low-light conditions—and respond more rapidly to dodge a crash. Yet in the same breath a majority of AV companies suspect that data has prompted more notable worries on how independent vehicles can identify and maintain a strategic distance from helpless street citizens, like cyclists, and individuals who locomote more on the slower side, gradually, more inconsistently through boulevards, similar to seniors and children. This is not the atmosphere on the job of a port which is likely how the technology has already been implemented for monetary & economic gain.
