AI Yarışında Çin: Modellerde Kısıtlama, Enerjide Baskı, Denizlerde Gerilim

Summary · AI generated

Çin, Moonshot’ın dünyanın en büyük açık ağırlıklı yapay zeka modeli Kimi K3’ü piyasaya sürmesiyle ABD ile rekabette öne çıkarken, gelişmiş yapay zeka modellerine yurt dışı erişimi kısıtlamayı değerlendiriyor. Bu adım, yazılımı stratejik bir varlık olarak görüp teknolojik egemenliği koruma çabasıyla uyumlu. Shenzhen’den bir akademisyen, Çin’in açık kaynaklı yapay zekaya güçlü destek vermemesi halinde ulusal güvenliğini riske atacağı uyarısında bulundu. Elektrik, yapay zeka hizmetlerinin ana maliyet unsuru haline gelirken, Asya’nın yapay zeka altyapısı büyük ölçüde kömüre dayanıyor. Pakistan ile kurulan yapay zeka işbirliği ittifakı WAICO gibi ortaklıklar, enerji ve teknoloji cephesindeki çok yönlü hamleleri gösteriyor. Bu arada, Güney Çin Denizi’nde Filipinler ile yaşanan gerginlikler ve Japonya’nın bölgedeki askeri varlığına dair uyarılar, tedarik zincirlerini ve kaynaklara erişimi tehdit eden jeopolitik sürtüşmeleri artırıyor. Boko Haram’ın ABD ve Çin sohbet robotlarını istismar etmesi, yapay zeka araçlarının güvenlik risklerini ortaya koyarken, Avustralya’nın Çin’in füze denemesini protesto etmesi gerginliğin boyutunu gözler önüne seriyor. Tüm bu gelişmeler, yapay zeka stratejisinin enerji, askeri duruş ve diplomatik çekişmelerle iç içe geçtiği çok cepheli bir rekabeti işaret ediyor.

    Are the US’ AI models better than China’s? That may be beside the point

    As another heatwave rolled across Europe, the warehouses emptied before the politics could catch up. Air conditioners and fans sold out across Spain, Italy and Germany, most of them Chinese. Fan sales in Spain alone on the retail platform of Alibaba Group Holding (which owns the South China Morning Post) nearly doubled last month while Midea Group’s air-conditioner sales in western Europe surged by over 70 per cent in the first six months of the year. A decade from now, such heatwaves may become...

    Why AI race with US is a ‘knockout game’ China cannot afford to lose

    China must fundamentally overhaul its innovation ecosystem or risk losing its technological sovereignty and national security in an existential AI “knockout game” with the US, an academic based in Chinese tech hub Shenzhen has warned. Huang Ping, assistant dean of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen)’s school of public policy, said the country must strongly back open-source artificial intelligence (AI) to counter costly, closed-source American models and their market dominance.

    US-China AI war boils down to a contest over electricity

    The proliferation of artificial intelligence models and the increasing parity in their performance suggest they are becoming a commodity. Soon, AI services will be priced by cost rather than the uniqueness of their model. With electricity the main cost of the services, the AI war between China and the United States is turning into a straightforward contest over electricity output and price. Open-source AI models are sprouting up like bamboo shoots in China. The American AI community has argued...

    The Coming Power War That Will Define the AI Era

    Every great economic era has been defined by a fight over a single resource. In the 19th century, it was coal, and the British Empire was built on top of it. In the 20th century, it was oil, and the modern Middle East and American postwar dominance were both shaped by who controlled the flow. In the early 21st century, semiconductors became the world’s most critical asset, sparking the rise of Taiwan, growing trade tensions with China, and the creation of several multi-trillion-dollar tech giants. The next fight is already underway, and almost…

    AI Surveillance and Social Progress

    In the near future, AI-powered surveillance systems will be able to track everything we do in public, and much of what we do in private. And if we do something wrong—shoplift, litter, jaywalk, you name it—the system will notice, retain it, tie it to your official government record, communicate that fact to you, and provide real-time alerts to any relevant authorities… and maybe also to the general public. Think of these systems as automated speed cameras, but on steroids. Only they’ll enforce not just speed limits, but any other rule you can imagine. And you won’t receive a ticket weeks later by mail; you’ll be informed about and fined for your violation immediately. These systems will combine powerful AI, public and private surveillance via real-time facial recognition technology and digital tracking, mass databases and highly personalized enforcement. If deployed at scale, they will have profound chilling effects not just on personal freedoms, but democracy and social progress itself. China has been developing its surveillance infrastructure for years. The country has over 600 million surveillance cameras, increasingly powered by AI and facial recognition to enforce legal and social rules. Take the case of Lao Duan, a Chinese citizen blacklisted by the system after he lost his job and was unable to repay a series of loans. When he visited Beijing, the city’s AI surveillance system identified him by his face at a major intersection and displayed his face, name and citizen ID number on a large electronic billboard nearby with a message that he was an untrustworthy person. Similar systems are now being deployed across China and integrated with its infamous online monitoring, censorship and social credit systems. AI surveillance is now being experimented with in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. According to a new report, the US Department of Homeland Security is rapidly increasing its use of AI-based surveillance, including facial recognition and the monitoring of social media accounts, to keep tabs on immigrants, dissidents, journalists, legal observers and protesters. While the systems are ostensibly used to maintain security and public safety, the real aim is often social control. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle—a powerful tech giant that works closely with the Trump administration—has said: “Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording and reporting.” The chilling effects are the point. AI surveillance raises a range of public policy challenges: technical biases, unauditable systems, and inflexible automated law and social rule enforcement that can promote discrimination and undermine transparency, accountability and the rule of law. But we believe the most urgent and long-term impact will be its broader chilling effects. In a new book, Chilling Effects: Repression, Conformity, and Power in the Digital Age, Jon Penney explains how surveillance, technology and power can be weaponized to influence behavior at scale. Surveillance, personalization, uncertainty and authority are all key mechanisms to increase the scale and impact of chilling effects. They cause people to self-censor their words and actions, to become more conformist and compliant and thus easier to manage and control. And the effects are additive: the more mechanisms employed, and the more powerful the form, the greater the chill. Computerization has long allowed data collectors to track our locations, collect lists of whom we communicate with, and monitor our spending habits—unless we use cash. What’s new is an unprecedented fusion of each of these mechanisms, persistent and unrelenting. AI brings an analytical ability to spy on the contents of our communications, and to answer sophisticated questions about our whereabouts and activities: actions that previously required human analysts are now automated. The result will be a kind of supercharged societal level of chilling effects where fear, self-censorship and groupthink reign, and dissent, creativity and innovation become increasingly rare. In this atmosphere of fear and conformity, risky ideas, social activism and self-reinvention—especially by disfavored groups and targeted populations—are also chilled. This will have long-term effects on social progress. Consider the relatively recent societal normalization of same-sex relationships and the recreational use of marijuana. Over the decades, those ideas slowly progressed from being both immoral and illegal, to moral but still illegal, and finally to both moral and legal. But in order for any of that to happen, there had to be a counterculture that was able to experiment and eventually demonstrate to the world that morality could change over time. To the extent that AI surveillance chills this sort of experimentation in public or in private, social progress becomes impossible. There are no real historical precursors to this; these technologies are too new. Even the most notorious and large-scale domestic surveillance program in US history, the FBI’s use of wiretapping, physical mail opening, informants and paper index cards to track alleged communists during the 1950s and 1960s, appears genuinely archaic in light of modern AI-enhanced surveillance. So does East Germany’s human-centric surveillance network during the cold war. Only science fiction, from the likes of George Orwell or Aldous Huxley, comes close. But even Big Brother’s “telescreen” feels decidedly mid-20th-century by comparison. But we need not sit idly. Now that we recognize the danger of AI-enhanced mass surveillance, we can make the policy choices not to implement it. Bans on facial recognition and other forms of identification tech can slow development; robust new privacy and data protections can restrict data tracking and retention; AI regulations can curtail its most invasive uses; and structural reforms can help us scrutinize and break up powerful state/tech cartels that pave the way for technological excesses like AI surveillance. The chill of AI-powered mass surveillance will suffocate the very foundations of healthy democratic societies. But we can still choose a different path. This essay was written with Jon Penney, and originally appeared in The Guardian.

    China's Moonshot unveils world's 'largest' open AI model, Kimi K3, closing in on US rivals

    Chinese AI startup Moonshot on Friday unveiled Kimi K3, a 2.8 trillion-parameter model that it said is the world’s largest open-weight AI system and delivers performance approaching US giant Anthropic’s frontier Fable model. The launch, which comes a month after Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models were abruptly withdrawn by the US government due to security concerns, underscores how quickly China’s open AI ecosystem is narrowing the gap with the most advanced US systems. Companies including Moonshot, Z.ai and MiniMax are releasing increasingly powerful models at sharply lower cost, challenging long-held assumptions in the West that Chinese developers trail their American peers by months. Moonshot said Kimi K3 is the first open-weight model to approach the 3tr-parameter mark and is designed for advanced reasoning, long-horizon coding and knowledge work. The model features a one million-token context window, allowing it to process and retain substantially more information than earlier generations in a single prompt. Kimi K3 “performed competitively with Fable 5 [with fallback] and substantially outperformed [OpenAI’s] Opus 4.8, GPT 5.6 Sol, and GPT 5.5” in terms of GPU kernel optimisation, the company said. The term refers to techniques that maximise AI hardware utilisation and minimise latency. The model has also posted strong results in third-party evaluations. Arena.ai ranked Kimi K3 first in a benchmark assessing web interface-building capabilities, while Vals AI placed it second overall behind Fable 5 and ahead of GPT-5.6 Sol. Artificial Analysis said the model delivered performance comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8, particularly on tests measuring complex, multi-step tasks. The Moonshot news drove shares of domestic AI competitors Zhipu and Minimax down sharply in Hong Kong; by midday, they were down 21.9 per cent and 13.8pc, respectively. Faster release cycles Chinese AI firms are accelerating their model release cycles as the global AI race intensifies. The shift follows the debut of Z.ai’s GLM-5.2, which stunned industry observers by scoring near top US closed-source models on benchmark tests, undermining a consensus among Western analysts that Chinese AI models were at least six months behind. Hong Kong-listed MiniMax is also developing its own 2.7tr-parameter model to be released as soon as the third quarter of 2026, and plans to launch its frontier-level multimodal model H3 in the near future. The race toward trillion-parameter systems reflects growing demand for autonomous systems capable of handling complex reasoning tasks. Leading AI labs are also pursuing systems capable of autonomous self-improvement, a process often referred to as recursive self-improvement. Before Kimi K3’s release, Meituan’s LongCat-2.0 and DeepSeek’s V4-Pro led China’s AI industry with 1.6tr total parameters, while several other domestic rivals have passed the trillion-parameter threshold. Open-weight models allow users to download, run and customise the underlying systems, unlike proprietary, closed-source models. Moonshot said Kimi K3 incorporates two significant architectural upgrades that improve computing efficiency and enable it to complete long-horizon coding tasks with minimal human supervision. Backed by giants like Alibaba and Tencent, Moonshot has been heavily expanding its capabilities and capital to remain at the forefront of the AI sector. Bloomberg reported last month that the startup was seeking $2 billion in fresh funding at a valuation of about $30bn ahead of a potential Hong Kong listing.
