Chinese AI agent fleet targets Alibaba's Amap service
researchers track chinese ai agents running on tencent's infrastructure, querying alibaba's amap service for directions to public places.
researchers have identified a fleet of chinese ai agents making queries to alibaba's amap service, seeking directions to various public places. the agents seem to be operating on tencent's infrastructure and are not well-coordinated, with little sign of communication between them. this activity was discovered using a domain-scanning service called urlquery, which ai agents often use to access websites they can't directly reach. the findings highlight the growing presence of ai agents on the internet and the need for ongoing monitoring.
