The Washington Post reported over the weekend that Chinese private technology firms are marketing AI-driven intelligence tools that claim to track and “expose” US military movements in the context of the Iran conflict, underscoring a growing US security concern despite China’s efforts to distance itself from the war.
Companies such as Hangzhou-based MizarVision and Jing’an Technology are using artificial intelligence to analyze open-source data, including satellite imagery, flight tracking and shipping information, to map US deployments in the Middle East, including pre-operational buildup.
