flock摄像头引发对监控国家的担忧，前五角大楼官员警告AI追踪风险
追踪美国车辆的Flock安全摄像头引发了激烈的隐私争议，“形势分析”专家小组就安全与政府过度管控的权衡展开讨论。前五角大楼人工智能政策主管马克·比尔警告称，这些自动识别设备可能会在当地社区打造出“类似中国的监控国家”。

福克斯新闻独家首发： 一份即将发布的报告提前独家提供给福克斯新闻数字频道的调查结果显示，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的研究人员与中国强大的公安部合作开展相关研究，开发能够追踪车辆并接管驾驶功能的汽车技术。
北京方面已开始在全中国部署该系统。
这项被称为“车路云”一体化的技术，将汽车与路边摄像头、传感器以及集中式云平台连接起来，让当局能够实时监控交通状况，在最先进的应用场景中，还可向互联车辆发送指令。
互联车辆技术的潜在影响已经令美国官员感到担忧。
美国商务部去年出台措施，限制某些中国和俄罗斯的互联车载技术进入美国，警告外国对手可能会收集美国司机的敏感信息，或远程操控他们的汽车。

2016年，时任威斯康星大学副校长杰弗里·拉塞尔访问东南大学，两校签署了涵盖研究、教师交流、学生培训以及创建联合研究所的协议。根据战略风险咨询公司引用的大学记录，次年，东南大学校长访问麦迪逊，正式成立联合研究所。
该研究所专注于智能交通、互联与自动驾驶汽车以及车路云技术。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校工程学院2019年的资料显示，该研究所“于2017年底正式启动”。
两年后，威斯康星大学的研究人员参与了一项技术研究，该研究还涉及中国公安部下属的一家研究所。
根据战略风险咨询公司的信息，共有46名 contributors 参与了一份中国行业报告，主题为车路协同自动驾驶，其中5名来自威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校。威斯康星大学-东南大学联合研究所被列为报告起草单位之首，而中国公安部交通管理科学研究所位列第七。
威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校在联合研究所中的制度参与程度存在争议。
一名威斯康星大学教授的法律顾问告诉战略风险咨询公司，当初设想的合作安排从未落实，该研究所从未由威斯康星大学运营、资助或配备人员。战略风险咨询公司表示，其并未独立核实这一争议，而是援引了两校公开资料，均称该研究所已成立。
威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
与此同时，相关车路云技术正成为中国全国互联汽车发展计划的一部分。
2023年，中国三大交通和通信标准机构联合发布了车路云一体化框架。东南大学与公安部道路交通安全研究中心一同参与了起草工作。
次年，公安部联合中国其他四个部委，在20个城市及区域群组启动车路云试点项目。
俄亥俄州立大学支付210万美元和解金，承认研究人员存在“与中国的不当海外关联”
根据该政府计划，参与试点的城市需安装互联路边设备和传感系统，并搭建能够与车辆通信的城市级云平台。这些平台可向车辆提供信息，辅助决策、规划和控制，同时安全监控系统可实时追踪参与试点的车辆。
中国官方将该项目描述为改善交通安全、推动自动驾驶、加速国内互联汽车产业发展的举措。但同样的功能也在华盛顿引发了安全担忧，官员们警告称，互联车载系统可能被利用来收集敏感数据或远程操控车辆。
战略风险咨询公司强调，其并未指控威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校故意向中国安全机构转移技术。
“战略风险咨询公司并未指控威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校，无论是单独还是通过联合研究所，故意将美国技术转移到中国的监控或军事系统中，”报告中写道。
但该组织认为，相关研究仍为后来在中国得到更广泛应用的技术做出了贡献。
“现有证据表明，隶属于联合研究所的学者开展的研究，推动了一项以民用为框架的两用技术的发展，而该技术领域也获得了美国机构和联邦研究资助，”报告中写道。
“当北京将这项技术纳入国家标准时，国家便拥有了一套具备重大监控、军事和人权影响的系统。”

How Americans helped create the Chinese car tech capable of ‘spying’

The connected-vehicle systems allow roadside cameras and cloud platforms to monitor traffic and send commands to cars

Flock cameras spark surveillance state fears as former Pentagon official warns of AI tracking
Flock safety cameras tracking American vehicles spark intense privacy debates as the ‘Outnumbered’ panel weighs security against government overreach. Former Pentagon AI policy director Mark Beall warns that these automated readers could create a ‘China-like surveillance state’ in local communities.

FIRST ON FOX:Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison overlapped on work with China’s powerful police ministry developing vehicle technology capable of tracking cars and overtaking driving functions, according to findings from a report shared exclusively with Fox News Digital ahead of its release.
Beijing has already begun deploying the systems across China.
The technology, known as “vehicle-road-cloud” integration, links cars with roadside cameras and sensors and centralized cloud platforms, allowing authorities to monitor traffic in real time and, at its most advanced levels, send commands to connected vehicles.
The implications of connected vehicles have alarmed U.S. officials.
The Commerce Department moved last year to restrict certain Chinese and Russian connected-vehicle technology in the United States, warning that foreign adversaries could potentially collect sensitive information about American drivers or remotely manipulate their cars.

HARVARD, NYU AMONG 30 UNIVERSITIES HIT WITH PENTAGON FOREIGN-TIE AUDIT DEADLINE
In 2016, then-UW Vice Provost Jeffrey Russell traveled to Southeast University, where the schools signed agreements covering research, faculty exchanges, student training and plans to create a joint institute. The following year, Southeast University’s president traveled to Madison to formally establish the Joint Research Institute, according to university records cited by Strategy Risks.
The institute focused on intelligent transportation, connected and autonomous vehicles and vehicle-road-cloud technology. UW-Madison’s own College of Engineering wrote in 2019 that the institute had “launched in late 2017.”
Two years later, UW researchers appeared on technical work that also involved an institute of China’s Ministry of Public Security.
Five UW-Madison researchers were among 46 contributors to a Chinese industry report on vehicle-road cooperative automated driving, according to Strategy Risks. The UW-SEU joint institute was listed first among the report’s drafting units, while the Traffic Management Research Institute of China’s Ministry of Public Security was listed seventh.
The extent of UW-Madison’s institutional involvement in the joint institute is disputed.
Counsel for a UW professor told Strategy Risks that the contemplated arrangement was never implemented and that the institute was never operational, funded or staffed by UW. Strategy Risks said it has not independently resolved that dispute, pointing to public records from both universities describing the institute as established.
UW-Madison did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Related vehicle-road-cloud technology was, meanwhile, becoming part of China’s national connected-vehicle push.
In 2023, three major Chinese transportation and communications standards bodies published a framework for vehicle-road-cloud integration. Southeast University was among the drafters alongside the Road Traffic Safety Research Center of China’s Ministry of Public Security.
The following year, the MPS joined four other Chinese ministries in launching a vehicle-road-cloud pilot program across 20 cities and regional groupings.

Under the government plan, participating cities are to install connected roadside equipment and sensing systems and build city-level cloud platforms capable of communicating with vehicles. The platforms can provide information to vehicles and assist with decision-making, planning and control, while safety-monitoring systems track participating vehicles in real time.
Chinese authorities describe the program as an effort to improve traffic safety, advance autonomous driving and accelerate the country’s connected-vehicle industry. But those same capabilities have raised security concerns in Washington, where officials have warned that connected-vehicle systems could be exploited to collect sensitive data or remotely manipulate vehicles.

Strategy Risks stressed that it is not accusing UW-Madison of intentionally transferring technology to China’s security apparatus.
“Strategy Risks does not allege that UW-Madison, either on its own or through the JRI, deliberately channeled U.S. technology into Chinese surveillance or military systems,” the report states.
But the group argues the research nevertheless contributed to technology that later took on broader applications in China.

“The available evidence indicates that research conducted by scholars affiliated with the JRI contributed to the development of a civilian-framed dual-use technology in technical areas that also received U.S. institutional and federal research support,” the report states.
“When Beijing incorporated this technology into national standards, the state absorbed a system that has significant surveillance, military, and human rights dimensions.”
