Kinesiska restriktioner sänker Tencent – aktien rasar tvåsiffrigt

Datorspelsjätten Tencent rasade tvåsiffrigt på Hongkongbörsen efter att den kinesiska regimen lanserat nya restriktioner för datorspelsmarknaden. Tencent äger drygt 10 procent av svenska Paradox Interactive och flera Stockholmslistade datorspelsbolag handlas ned i fredagens öppningshandel.

Tencent står i begrepp att visa upp en ny chattbot

Tencent står i begrepp att visa upp en ny chattbot

Den kinesiska techjätten Tencent kommer att presentera en ny AI-baserad chattbot på torsdag. Det framgår av ett inlägg som Tencent publicerat i sociala medier, skriver Reuters. De kinesiska myndigheterna började godkänna allmänt tillgängliga AI-chattbotar för så sent som i augusti, och andra kinesiska techjättar som Sensetime och Baidu släppte AI-chattbotar redan under förra veckan. Tencents chattbot heter ”Hunyuan”, och i inlägget som Tencent publicerat finns ett exempel på en konversation där chattboten hjälper någon skriva en marknadsföringstext.

Kina begränsar skärmtiden för unga

Kina begränsar skärmtiden för unga

— I Kina råder en helt annan acceptans för vad staten får göra med sina medborgare, säger Björn Cappelin på Nationellt Kunskapscentrum om Kina. Kinas nationella internettillsynsmyndighet, Cyberspace Administration of China ( CAC ), väntas inom kort införa åtgärder som syftar till att begränsa barn och ungas skärmtid. Förslaget är öppet för "offentlig diskussion" fram till den 2 september. Det innebär att allmänheten kan vända sig till myndigheten med synpunkter. När de nya regelverket är på plats måste alla tillverkare av operativsystem, telefoner, datorer, appar och appbutiker bygga in ett ”användarläge för minderåriga” som gör att det inte ska gå att använda telefonen efter två timmar. Förändringarna beskrivs av nyhetsbyrån Bloomberg som världens mest restriktiva när det gäller nätanvändande. Hur omsättas? — Från myndighetshåll finns en långsiktig ambition att begränsa tillgången för unga till vad de anser är tidsfördrivande appar och spel, säger Björn Cappelin, biträdande chef på Nationellt kunskapscentrum om Kina vid Utrikespolitiska institutet. Han framhåller att beslutet motiveras ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv, som att folk kan få problem med närsynthet. Där finns också en oro för att barn ska bli internetberoende. — Sedan finns en politisk underton kring vilket innehåll som ska nå unga, påpekar han. Kinesiska myndigheter har sedan 2021 haft olika former av kampanjer riktade mot ungdomar och har benämnt data- och mobilspel som ”ett spirituellt opium”. Arkivbild. Lagen bedöms som dåliga nyheter för en rad internettjänster som till exempel Tencents WeChat. Bytedance, som äger Tiktok, väntas också påverkas trots att bolaget inte är börsnoterat. Företagen är vana vid att förhålla sig till censur. Men det är svårt att säga hur stor del av deras verksamhet som påverkas av de nya reglerna. — Mycket av företagens innehåll är riktade mot unga. Det kommer att kosta pengar att omsätta riktlinjerna i praktiken och upprätta kontrollsystem, säger Björn Cappelin. Politik står över tillväxt Teknikbranschen i Kina har ansträngda år bakom sig, understryker han. — Regimen drog i gång en sorts kampanj 2021 med en rad pålagor för företagen. Peking ansåg att de hade växt sig för starka och hade för stort inflytande över medborgarna. En konsekvens blev att vissa behövde dela upp sin verksamhet. Kinas ekonomi befinner sig i ett fragilt läge utifrån flera indikatorer: hög ungdomsarbetslöshet, sjunkande konsumentpriser, minskad export och oro för en skuldsatt fastighetssektor. Den hackande ekonomin hänger samman med att det kinesiska affärsklimat har försämrats rejält de senaste åren, enligt Björn Cappelin. — Partipolitiska prioriteringar är överordnade ekonomisk tillväxt. Partiet är tydligt med att man vill styra företagens villkor. Det är en bidragande orsak till att den ekonomiska återhämtningen inte kommer i gång efter pandemin. Pekings centrala affärsdistrikt ståtar i bakgrunden, men det kinesiska affärsklimat har försämrats de senaste åren, enligt UI:s Björn Cappelin. Arkivbild. Draghjälp för föräldrar? Han betonar att det är svårt att få en representativ bild av vad folk egentligen tycker om den väntande internetregleringen eftersom tillgången till information är så kraftigt begränsad. — Jag har tagit del av viss rapportering där folk uttrycker kritik, att det är för tungfotat och kommer drabba företag och kreatörer online. — Det här är vad unga vill hålla på med. Nu skapar myndigheterna ett tråkigt internet i kritikers ögon. Men jag föreställer mig att många föräldrar i Kina spontant tänker att det här ger dem draghjälp att begränsa ett överdrivet skärmtittande. WHO förordar att barn mellan två och fem år helst ska vara mindre än en timme om dagen framför telefonen, surfplattan eller tv:n. Länder som Danmark, Norge, Tyskland och Frankrike har nationella rekommendationer. I Norge uppmanas barn upp till två år att helt undvika skärmar. I Sverige är varannan förälder med barn i låg- och mellanstadiet oroade över barnens stillasittande framför skärmar, enligt Internetstiftelsen. Folkhälsomyndigheten har fått i uppdrag att fram vägledning kring detta. Underlaget ska redovisas under 2024. Kinas omfattande pandeminedstängningar skapade ett dilemma för regimen: oro för att unga exponerats för mycket för internet. Arkivbild. Som en sträng far Den grundläggande skillnaden jämfört med Kina är synen på och acceptansen för vad staten får göra med sina medborgare, påpekar Björn Cappelin. — Staten intar ofta rollen som sträng fader, som övervakar och uppfostrar befolkningen. Det handlar både om hur mycket man får titta på skärmen och vad man tittar på. Viktigt i sammanhanget är Kinas hårda pandeminedstängningar, som ledde till att folk var tvungna att använda digitala tjänster för att ha kontakt med andra. Barn blev vana vid att vara uppkopplade för distansundervisning. — Detta har spätt på oron för att unga har exponerats för mycket för internet, säger Cappelin. — Det råder en politisk diskurs i Kina om att ungdomar saknar framtidsutsikter. Partiet ser det som ett hot mot samhällsutvecklingen. De här nya regelverken blir då ett sätt att bekämpa symptomen, snarare än grundorsakerna.

Kinesisk tangentbordsapp läcker allt: Hundra miljoner kan drabbas

Kinesisk tangentbordsapp läcker allt: Hundra miljoner kan drabbas

För mobilanvändare som vill skriva på kinesiska är det nära nog omöjligt utan att klara sig utan en tredjepartsapp för tangentbord. Nu visar det sig att de här apparna – kanske – kan läsa allt användarna skriver. Antalet drabbade kan vara hundratals miljoner. Third-party keyboard apps make typing in Chinese more efficient, but they can also be a privacy nightmare By Zeyi Yanga August 21, 2023 For millions of Chinese people, the first software they download on a new laptop or smartphone is always the same: a keyboard app. Yet few of them are aware that it may make everything they type vulnerable to spying eyes. Since dozens of Chinese characters can share the same latinized phonetic spelling, the ordinary QWERTY keyboard alone is incredibly inefficient. A smart, localized keyboard app can save a lot of time and frustration by predicting the characters and words a user wants to type. Today, over 800 million Chinese people use third-party keyboard apps on their PCs, laptops, and mobile phones. But a recent report by the Citizen Lab, a University of Toronto–affiliated research group focused on technology and security, revealed that Sogou, one of the most popular Chinese keyboard apps, had a massive security loophole. “This is an app that handles very sensitive information—specifically, every single thing that you type,” says Jeffrey Knockel, a senior research associate at the Citizen Lab and coauthor of the report. “So we wanted to look into that in greater detail and see if this app is properly encrypting this very sensitive data that it’s sending over the network—or, as we found, is it improperly doing it in a way that eavesdroppers could decipher?” Indeed, what he and his colleagues found was that Sogou’s encryption system could be exploited to intercept and decrypt exactly what people were typing, as they were typing it. Sogou, which was acquired by the tech giant Tencent in 2021, quickly fixed this loophole after the Citizen Lab researchers disclosed it to the company. “User privacy is fundamental to our business,” a Sogou spokesperson told MIT Technology Review. “We have addressed the issues identified by the Citizen Lab and will continue to work so that user data remains safe and secure. We transparently disclose our data processing activities in our privacy policy and do not otherwise share user data.” But there’s no guarantee that this was the only vulnerability in the app, and the researchers did not examine other popular keyboard apps in the Chinese market—meaning the ubiquitous software will continue to be a security risk for hundreds of millions of people. And, alarmingly, the potential for such makes otherwise encrypted communications by Chinese users—in apps like Signal, for example—vulnerable to systems of state surveillance. Officially called input method editors (IMEs), keyboard apps are necessary for typing in languages that have more characters than a common Latin-alphabet keyboard allows, like those with Japanese, Korean, or Indic characters. For Chinese users, having an IME is almost a necessity. “There’s a lot more ambiguity to resolve when typing Chinese characters using a Latin alphabet,” says Mona Wang, an Open Technology Fund fellow at the Citizen Lab and another coauthor of the report. Because the same phonetic spelling can be matched to dozens or even hundreds of Chinese characters, and these characters also can be paired in different ways to become different words, a keyboard app that has been fine-tuned to the Chinese language can perform much better than the default keyboard. Starting in the PC era, Chinese software developers proposed all kinds of IME products to expedite typing, some even ditching phonetic spelling and allowing users to draw or choose the components of a Chinese character. As a result, downloading third-party keyboard software became standard practice for everyone in China. Released in 2006, Sogou Input Method quickly became the most popular keyboard app in the country. It was more capable than any competitor in predicting which character or word the user actually wanted to type, and it did that by scraping text from the internet and maintaining an extensive library of Chinese words. The cloud-based library was updated frequently to include newly coined words, trending expressions, or names of people in the news. In 2007, when Google launched its Chinese keyboard, it even copied Sogou’s word library (and later had to apologize). In 2014, when the iPhone finally enabled third-party IMEs for the first time, Chinese users rushed to download Sogou’s keyboard app, leaving 3,000 reviews in just one day. At one point, over 90% of Chinese PC users were using Sogou. Over the years, its market dominance has waned; as of last year, Baidu Input Method was the top keyboard app in China, with 607 million users and 46.4% of the market share. But Sogou still had 561 million users, according to iiMedia, an analytics firm. A keyboard app can access a wide variety of user information. For example, once Sogou is downloaded and added to the iPhone keyboard options, the app will ask for “full access.” If it’s granted, anything the user types can be sent to Sogou’s cloud-based server. Connecting to the cloud is what makes most IMEs successful, allowing them to improve text prediction and enable other miscellaneous features, like the ability to search for GIFs and memes. But this also adds risk since content can, at least in theory, be intercepted during transmission. It becomes the apps’ responsibility to properly encrypt the data and prevent that from happening. Sogou’s privacy policy says it has “adopted industry-standard security technology measures … to maximize the prevention of leak, destruction, misuse, unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure, or alteration” of users’ personal information. “People generally had suspicions [about the security of keyboard apps] because they’re advertising [their] cloud service,” says Wang. “Almost certainly they’re sending some amount of keystrokes over the internet.” Nevertheless, users have continued to grant the apps full access. When the Citizen Lab researchers started looking at the Sogou Input Method on Windows, Android, and iOS platforms, they found that it used EncryptWall, an encryption system it developed itself, instead of Transport Layer Security (TLS), the standard international cryptographic protocol that has been in use since 1999. (Sogou is also used on other platforms like MacOS and Linux, but the researchers haven’t looked into them.) One critical difference between the two encryption systems, the Citizen Lab found, is that Sogou’s EncryptWall is still vulnerable to an exploit that was revealed in 2002 and can turn encrypted data back into plain text. TLS was updated to protect against this in 2003. But when they used that exploit method on Sogou, the researchers managed to decrypt the exact keystrokes they’d typed. The existence of this loophole meant that users were vulnerable to all kinds of hacks. The typed content could be intercepted when it went through VPN software, home Wi-Fi routers, and telecom providers. Not every word is transmitted to the cloud, the researchers found. “If you type in nihao [‘hello’ in Chinese] or something like that, [the app] can answer that without having to use the cloud database,” says Knockel. “But if it’s more complicated and, frankly, more interesting things that you’re typing in, it has to reach out to that cloud database.” Along with the content being typed, Knockel and his Citizen Lab colleagues also obtained other information like technical identifiers of the user’s device, the app that the typing occurred in, and even a list of apps installed on the device. A lot of malicious actors would be interested in exploiting a loophole like this and eavesdropping on keystrokes, the researchers note—from cybercriminals after private information (like street addresses and bank account numbers) to government hackers. (In a written response to the Citizen Lab, Sogou said the transmission of typed text is required to access more accurate and extensive vocabularies on the cloud and enable a built-in search engine, and the uses are stated in the privacy agreement.) This particular loophole was closed when Tencent updated the Sogou software across platforms in late July. The Citizen Lab researchers found that the latest version effectively fixed the problem by adopting the TLS encryption protocol. Around the world, people who are at high risk of being surveilled by state authorities have turned to apps that offer end-to-end encryption. But if keyboard apps are vulnerable, then otherwise encrypted communication apps like Signal or WhatsApp are now also unsafe. What’s more, once a keyboard app is compromised, even an otherwise offline app, like the built-in notebook app, can be a security risk too. (Signal and WhatsApp did not respond to MIT Technology Review’s requests for comment. A spokesperson from Baidu said, “Baidu Input Method consistently adheres to established security practice standards. As of now, there are no vulnerabilities related to [the encryption exploit Sogou was vulnerable to] within Baidu Input Method’s products.”) As early as 2019, Naomi Wu, a Shenzhen-based tech blogger known as SexyCyborg online, had sounded the alarm about the risk of using Chinese keyboard apps alongside Signal. “The Signal ‘fix’ is ‘Incognito Mode’ aka for the app to say ‘Pretty please don’t read everything I type’ to the virtual keyboard and count on Google/random app makers to listen to the flag, and not be under court order to do otherwise,” she wrote in a 2019 Twitter thread. Since keyboard apps have no obligation to honor Signal’s request, “basically all hardware here is self-compromised 5 minutes out of the box,” she added. Wu suspects that the use of Signal was the reason some Chinese student activists talking to foreign media were detained by the police in 2018. In January 2021, Signal itself tried to clarify that its Incognito Keyboard feature (which only works for users on Android systems, which are more vulnerable than iOS) was not a foolproof privacy solution: “Keyboards and IME’s can ignore Android’s Incognito Keyboard flag. This Android system flag is a best effort, not a guarantee. It’s important to use a keyboard or IME that you trust. Signal cannot detect or prevent malware on your device,” the company added to its article on keyboard security. The recent Citizen Lab findings lend further support to Wu’s theory. The security risk is particularly acute for users in China, since they are more likely to use keyboard apps and are under strict surveillance by their government. (Wu herself has disappeared from social media since the end of June, following a visit from police that was reportedly related to her online discussions of Signal and keyboard apps.) Still, other governments seem to have been paying attention to vulnerabilities with encrypted data transmission as well. A 2012 document leaked by Edward Snowden, for instance,shows that the Five Eyes intelligence alliance—comprising Canada, the US, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand—had been discreetly exploiting a similar loophole in UC Browser, a popular Chinese program, to intercept certain transmissions. Beyond being targeted by state actors, there are other ways keystroke information acquired via keyboard apps can be sold, leaked, or hacked. In 2021, it was reported that advertisers were able to access personal information through Sogou, as well as Baidu’s keyboard and similar apps, and use it to push customized ads. And in 2013, a loophole was found that made multimedia files that users uploaded and shared through Sogou searchable on Bing. These security problems are not unique to Chinese apps. In 2016, users of SwiftKey, an IME that was acquired by Microsoft that year, found that the app was auto-filling other people’s email addresses and personal information, as a result of a bug with its cloud sync system. The following year, a virtual keyboard app accidentally leaked 31 million users’ personal data. Even though the specific loophole identified by the Citizen Lab was fixed quickly, given all these breaches, it feels somewhat inevitable that another security flaw in a keyboard app will be revealed soon. As Knockel notes, using Sogou and similar apps always poses security risks, particularly in China, since all Chinese apps are legally required to surrender data if asked by the government. “If that’s something that’s concerning to you,” he says, “you might also just reconsider using Sogou, period.” © 2023 Technology Review, Inc.

AI riskerar att bli en miljöbov

AI riskerar att bli en miljöbov

Den senaste tidens AI-boom har fört med sig en bred diskussion om vilka områden som främst kan komma att gynnas av tekniken. Det har varit tystare kring hur den ökade användningen av AI påverkar klimatet. — Vi som håller på med it och telekom i dag riskerar att bli miljöbovar. Det är inte bara de som sitter bakom en ratt eller kör en industriprocess som är bovar i klimatkrisen, säger Karl Andersson, professor i distribuerade datorsystem vid Luleå tekniska universitet. — Allt vi gör online, oavsett om det är Chat GPT eller sociala medier får väldigt stor påverkan. Eftersom så väldigt mycket av det körs i stora datacenter, fortsätter han. Olika typer av energi Var i världen data- eller serverhallarna ligger avgör vilket energislag som i förlängningen används för att AI-rekommendera nästa Tiktok-klipp eller Youtube-video. — Det har gjorts försök att kvantifiera det här, säger Joakim Nivre, senior forskare vid Sveriges Forskningsinstitut (RISE) och professor i datorlingvistik vid Uppsala universitet. I en rapport från 2019 kom forskare vid Massachusetts Amherst-universitetet fram till att en klimatpåverkan för en språkmodell (Chat GPT är en språkmodell) var att jämföra med den från fem bilars livslängd, från fabriken till skroten. Sedan dess har både storleken och efterfrågan på AI ökat markant. "Ökad medvetenhet" 2017 betygsatte Greenpeace en lång rad teknikjättars klimatpåverkan. Då gav miljöorganisationen Facebook, Apple och Google betyget A, medan Amazon fick ett C och kinesiska teknik- och speljätten Tencent fick ett F, mycket på grund av användning av kolkraft. Microsoft, som investerat miljardtals dollar i Chat GPT-skaparna Open AI, fick betyget B. En tredjedel av deras energiförbrukning kom då från kolkraft. — Det har skalats upp enormt på bara två, tre år. Det har lett till avsevärt mycket större energipåverkan, säger Joakim Nivre och fortsätter: — Samtidigt finns det en ökad medvetenhet. Alla inom det här området jobbar på att göra modeller och datacenter energieffektiva, både fysiskt och mjukvarumässigt. I Sverige avslutades nyligen ett projekt, där Karl Andersson ingick, som bland annat tittade på hur datahallar kan energieffektiviseras. — Man måste jobba mer multidisciplinärt. Det behövs mer kunskap kring det här, säger han.
