The move by China has come after it has introduced strict rules for generative AI which makes it vital for the providers to “embody core socialist values.”The all-new chatbot is based on a large language model (LLM) which is trained on the political philosophy, “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.” According to the reports, the official literature has been provided by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC). Tech giants like Baidu and Alibaba will ensure that chatbots do not generate any sensitive data.According to the sources, the AI model is currently under research mode and under testing with access to some limited users. It is not available for general public right now.The features of this AI chatbot likely include:Textual Analysis: Chat Xi PT analyzes texts, speeches, and writings by Xi Jinping to extract key themes, principles, and slogans of his political thought. It can also translate between Chinese and English.Natural Language Processing (NLP): The chatbot utilizes advanced NLP techniques to understand user queries and respond with relevant content based on Xi Jinpings ideology.Interactive Dialogue: Users can engage in conversations with the chatbot, asking questions about Xi Jinpings policies, leadership style, or political vision, and receive responses aligned with his ideology.Educational Tool: Chat Xi PT may serve as an educational tool, providing information about Xi Jinpings political philosophy and its application in various domains such as governance, economy, and foreign policy.Propaganda Tool: Given the tight control over information in China, the chatbot could also be used as a propaganda tool to promote loyalty to the Communist Party and reinforce Xi Jinpings authority.Data Collection: Like many AI chatbots, Chat Xi PT may collect user data to improve its responses and better understand public sentiment towards Xi Jinpings political thought.Overall, the integration of Xi Jinpings political thought into an AI chatbot reflects the Chinese governments efforts to leverage technology for ideological dissemination and control of public discourse. Sources also report that this chatbot will ensure that responses are compliant with the social values of China.
