Saudi Arabia’s Communication, Space and Technology Commission (CST) has issued a roadmap for using the 5.9 GHz Band for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology, which outlines CST's strategic approach in providing the frequency spectrum needed for this technology in the Kingdom.

The aim is to keep pace with the rapid advancements in the field of intelligent transportation systems, and to facilitate the future deployment of autonomous vehicles, thus improving the quality of life in the Kingdom by enhancing road safety and providing drivers with important data needed.

The roadmap includes a comprehensive analysis of V2X applications and types of communication, as well as key developments regarding these applications. It also features a review of regulatory practices in various countries and an analysis of public consultation feedback. CST is keen to enable the latest technologies for these systems, specifically Cellular V2X (C-V2X), for several critical reasons, including the advanced use-cases offered by the technology and its seamless integration in existing 4G and 5G networks, which can be leveraged for these systems.

This roadmap complements the implementation of the Spectrum Outlook for Commercial and Innovative Use for 2021–2023 and aligns with the National Spectrum Strategy 2025. It is part of the CST's endeavor to achieve a prosperous and secure future in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

OpenAI is seeing an increasing number of Chinese groups using its artificial intelligence technology for covert operations, which the ChatGPT maker described in a report released Thursday.

While the scope and tactics employed by these groups have expanded, the operations detected were generally small in scale and targeted limited audiences, the San Francisco-based startup said, according to Reuters.

Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022, there have been concerns about the potential consequences of generative AI technology, which can quickly and easily produce human-like text, imagery and audio.

OpenAI regularly releases reports on malicious activity it detects on its platform, such as creating and debugging malware, or generating fake content for websites and social media platforms.

In one example, OpenAI banned ChatGPT accounts that generated social media posts on political and geopolitical topics relevant to China, including criticism of a Taiwan-centric video game, false accusations against a Pakistani activist, and content related to the closure of USAID.

Some content also criticized US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, generating X posts, such as "Tariffs make imported goods outrageously expensive, yet the government splurges on overseas aid. Who's supposed to keep eating?".

In another example, China-linked threat actors used AI to support various phases of their cyber operations, including open-source research, script modification, troubleshooting system configurations, and development of tools for password brute forcing and social media automation.

A third example OpenAI found was a China-origin influence operation that generated polarized social media content supporting both sides of divisive topics within US political discourse, including text and AI-generated profile images.

China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on OpenAI's findings.

OpenAI has cemented its position as one of the world's most valuable private companies after announcing a $40 billion funding round valuing the company at $300 billion.
