  • Release of the Research Report on Ethical Governance of Embodied Intelligence

    On October 13, the National Artificial Intelligence Standardization Overall Group released the 'Research Report on Ethical Governance of Embodied Intelligence.' The report focuses on the ethical governance of embodied intelligence, systematically summarizing governance proposals from the perspectives of lifecycle governance, technical protection, and standard guidance. It is understood that the ethics of embodied intelligence is a branch of artificial intelligence ethics. The report outlines six categories of ethical risks, including the autonomy of individuals, damage to social relationships and developmental rights, personal injury and public safety, privacy violations and misuse of personal information, bias and discrimination leading to service exclusion, misidentification and overestimation of capabilities, as well as unclear responsibilities and difficulties in event reconstruction. These risks are classified into five levels (R1 to R5) based on the severity of the harm caused. The report proposes six basic governance principles centered on humanity, safety and control, privacy protection, fairness and inclusivity, transparency and explainability, and accountability. Zhang Shizong, Deputy Director of the Information Technology Research Center at the China Electronic Technology Standardization Institute, stated that ethical requirements should be integrated into project design, research and development integration, deployment and operation, and service termination, clarifying the protection requirements and responsibilities at each stage. In terms of technical protection, measures include ensuring physical safety through action constraints, protecting perceptual data through controlled collection, and safeguarding autonomous choice through identity prompts and exit functions. Zhang also indicated that standards will be developed around common fundamentals, governance technologies, governance management, and application scenarios. China will accelerate the development of national standards such as the 'Guidelines for Ethical Governance of Artificial Intelligence and Embodied Intelligence,' systematically conducting research on risk classification and grading, protection function requirements, verification testing methods, and accountability mechanisms to promote the integration of ethical governance requirements into the entire lifecycle of embodied intelligence product project design, research and development integration, and operational deployment.

  • Anthropic Warns of AI Worm Risks: 15 Inexpensive TV Boxes Can Run 26 Billion Parameter Models

    On October 13, Anthropic released a study warning that AI could potentially seek out networked devices like computer worms, deploy models, and continue to spread using new devices. Common connected devices such as smart TV boxes and refrigerators may become sources of computational power. In the study, 15 Android TV boxes, each priced at around $55, successfully ran the 26 billion parameter Gemma 4 model, but the inference speed was only 0.39 tokens per second. The Zhiyu GLM-5.2 completed the process of finding targets, transmitting models, and initiating inference to continue spreading within an isolated simulated network, successfully covering all 8 target nodes in 4 out of 5 tests. However, the experiment had an open debugging interface without validation, which lowered the difficulty of intrusion, and it relied on external servers, deploying a smaller Llama 3.1 8B model rather than self-replication. After Qwen3.5-9B transmitted fault records to the next round of agents, the deployment success rate increased from 45% to between 61% and 84%. Anthropic predicts that by the end of 2026, small models suitable for inexpensive devices may possess comparable spreading capabilities, but completing one round of replication for a 9B model may take one to two days.
