Microsoft Worked With Chinese Military University on AI (irishtimes.com)
Microsoft has been working with a Chinese military-run university on AI research that could be used for surveillance and censorship. From a report: Three papers, published between March and November last year, were co-written by academics at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing and researchers with affiliations to China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDR), which is controlled by China's top military body, the Central Military Commission. Samm Sacks, a senior fellow at the New America think-tank and a China tech policy expert, said the papers raised "red flags because of the nature of the technology, the author affiliations, combined with what we know about how this technology is being deployed in China right now." "The [Chinese]government is using these technologies to build surveillance systems and to detain minorities [in Xinjiang]," she added.
"nobody ever got executed for buying Microsoft"
Ooh Mao Mao....

When it comes to AI and a growing number of other areas, the Chinese are no slouches. This is why MS has research groups in China. They are taking advantage of Chinese talent. It is likely that MS gained more knowledge about AI from China in this case than they did from us, though I don't know what firewalls China may have required between MS's research groups in China and those in the US. There may very well be export controls on what that group can transmit to the home company.
unless he gets you to the other side with john edwards and trump.
They helped China with software? Given that it doesn't exist and is an impossibility of math and physics, China doesn't have 'AI' any more than anyone else does, no matter how loose their ethics. As far as shady business goes, though, yup. The modern Valley and its partners are slime.
This is MS. Add in Google, FB, and not surprised that when Chinese gov says Bend Over, they do it.
these assholes are simply handing over everything like GM, Ford, and Chrysler did.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
and yet, you have not seen Mueller's report.
As it is, Muellers team is already hinting that Barr's report was not accurate nor did it justice.
So, once the intelligence/Justice committees get the unredacted report, then we can talk about it.

"Why American companies do not fight against Chinese government for/instead us??? Why American companies don't want to be SJW & fight against all governments in the world??? Why American companies respect & follow local laws in other countries???"
The secret info, you can tell us the 'truth' can you.
You are always wrong. So trump must be innocent just because of that.
they do not deserve to be allowed freedom, seeing as they are actively working to supress it.
China leads in this field. Those companies are playing catch up.
its all good - microsoft runs a business so as long as there is a business plan it is all good. no harm no foul
Usual non story anyway. 'Chinese academics work with other Chinese academics ' just doesn't produce as many clicks.
Just wait for WondBourne to tell us how bad they all are and we can move to the next story.
I think you meant to say "has been", not "could be".

I see little difference between modern China and 1930s Germany.
We do that too. Are they being detained BECAUSE they're minorities, or do they just happen to be minority lawbreakers? I'd like to know whether this is an actual report of sinister activity, or just nationalist sensationalism.
No wonder Chinese tanks are better at identifying cats.
Table-ized A.I.
Yeah, Barr lied about the report, which actually shows collusion and indictments are just about to happen, but in a brilliant scheme days before the full release, he fabricated a summary that says the exact opposite. Nobody will be the wiser!
You are a sniveling, mindless, myopic, blithering fucking imbecile.

So Chinese academics collaborate with other Chinese academics. And somehow you think this is newsworthy?
Your over the top anit-China trolling is reaching new highs. Or you just spamming comments to hide how completely clueless you are about global warming?
Delay and hide till it blows over. Just like you constantly do with all your lies.
hinting
Yep, that's certainly the key word.
It doesn't really matter which national entity you are helping,. hey bro utilize the same philosophies of control, social manipulation, and systemic oppression to maintain their power bases. Two peas in a pod trash-talking the other and attempt to distract from their own bulshit.
