〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕輝達(Nvidia)執行長黃仁勳捲入婚外情風波,女方黃樂(Alice Huang)遭美方官員懷疑與中國情報機關有關。《華爾街日報》深入調查指出,中國透過政府機關、企業及民間力量,從人際接觸、網路攻擊到學術合作,多管道蒐集西方人工智慧(AI)及半導體技術。美國聯邦調查局(FBI)上月查獲中國國家支持駭客使用的釣魚工具,相關鎖定目標包括台灣兩所大學。
報導引述一家歐洲情報機構估計,中國約有60萬人從事情報與安全相關工作,規模遠超美國及歐洲情報機構。中國情報活動不只仰賴傳統間諜,也包括駭客攻擊、企業投資及資助敏感學術研究,目標是取得科技知識,縮小與美國的技術差距。
中國國家安全部部長陳一新9月曾撰文指出,機器學習的快速發展直接威脅中共政權、制度及意識形態安全。WSJ指出,習近平希望中國在科技與軍事實力上追近美國,AI及半導體因此成為重要戰略領域。
報導提到,美國白宮4月指控中國利用數以萬計的代理帳號,大規模擷取美國AI模型資訊。Anthropic也表示,3家中國AI公司曾向旗下Claude模型發出超過1600萬次提問,以訓練自家產品。英國軍情五處(MI5)9月則警告,一家中國研究機構透過資助英國學術研究取得AI成果,可能有超過100名學者在不知情下協助中國情報活動。
中國駭客釣魚工具鎖定台灣2所大學
網路攻擊也是情報蒐集的重要管道。WSJ引述美國聯邦調查局(FBI)2023年評估指出,中國支持的駭客人數至少是FBI網路人員的50倍。FBI上月查獲中國國家支持駭客使用的釣魚工具,相關攻擊目標包括美國電力公司、日本及波蘭機場,以及台灣兩所大學。
黃樂是否為中國情報人員,目前仍沒有確鑿證據。她曾任職的新加坡企業Megaspeed,正因涉嫌規避出口管制、將高階輝達晶片輸往中國而接受美方調查,但公司否認相關指控。輝達董事會表示,沒有理由相信美國國家安全已遭到危害;中國外交部則稱間諜指控毫無根據,是抹黑中國。
前英國軍情六處(MI6)行動主管英克斯特(Nigel Inkster)也指出,目前沒有足夠證據判定黃樂是情報人員。不過,黃仁勳與美國總統川普關係密切,且曾影響美國對中國晶片出口政策,使他可能成為中國情報機關感興趣的對象。

On the evening of the 13th, the FAA lifted the nationwide flight suspension order that lasted for more than 4 hours, causing about 15,000 flights to be delayed or canceled. Transportation Secretary Duffy said the old system has caused data overload and asked Congress to allocate $50 billion to upgrade the air traffic control system.
