The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) has released a report containing a warning about the potential threat of Venezuela implementing Chinese artificial intelligence technologies into its national surveillance system. According to the report's authors, such integration could significantly enhance the capabilities of Venezuelan authorities to exercise digital control over citizens. The report notes that China has already exported surveillance technologies to a number of countries, and Venezuela is being considered as a potential next recipient of such solutions. ASPI experts point out that the use of advanced AI systems for population monitoring could contribute to strengthening authoritarian governance practices and restricting civil liberties. The report's authors characterize this trend as part of a broader phenomenon—the export of digital authoritarianism from China to other countries where governments are interested in tightening control over society. Such technologies, in their assessment, enable tracking of citizens' movements, communications, and social activity with unprecedented precision. The report emphasizes that the development of cooperation between Beijing and Caracas in this sphere requires attention from the international community, as it could set a precedent for other countries with authoritarian tendencies in governance. ASPI calls for more careful monitoring of such technological alliances and their consequences for human rights.
