Billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros warned that the machine learning and artificial intelligence used in creating China's Social Credit System is creating "an unprecedented danger that is threatening the very survival of open societies."
With the creation of the Social Credit System in China, information about a person is being consolidated into a central database. With that data, people will be evaluated by algorithms that "will determine whether they pose a threat to the one-party state.”
"People will then be treated accordingly," he said.
"This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of those who believe in the concept of open society," Soros said.
Later on,
Soros said President Donald Trump is "notoriously unpredictable," but noted that his administration's China policy is the "result of a carefully prepared plan" from officials like Matt Pottinger, the White House National Security Council Senior Director for Asian Affairs, and outlined in a "seminal speech" by Vice President Mike Pence.
