When cyberattacks get smarter, so do the defenses. Chinese companies are now embracing generative AI to fight fire with digital firepower, turning cutting-edge tech into virtual guardians against hackers.
Leading the charge is cybersecurity giant Qi-Anxin Group, which launched its AI model QAX-GPT in March. This robo-defender analyzes threats 60x faster than human experts—like having a superhero sidekick for digital security.
'Alarm fatigue? Not on our watch,' said Qi Xiangdong, the company’s chairman. With AI handling 99% of threat alerts, overworked security teams can focus on high-stakes missions. The model learns from cybersecurity reports, crime patterns, and even hacker playbooks to stay ahead of evolving risks.
But why the urgency? Since ChatGPT exploded globally in 2022, hackers have weaponized AI to create smarter malware and dark web tools. It’s a digital arms race, warns VP Zhang Zhuo: 'AI lets us clone expert knowledge instead of just code.'
China’s cyber battlefield is heating up—over 42 million malware attacks hit the country in 2020 alone. With AI now guarding the gates, the next-gen security saga is just beginning.
