China Orders A.I. Chatbots to Reflect Socialism

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) published draft regulations that would require artificially intelligent (A.I.) chat systems to “reflect the core values of socialism” and regurgitate Communist Party propaganda. CAC’s new regulations state that A.I. systems, such as OpenAI’s famed ChatGPT and its forthcoming Chinese imitators, “must not contain subversion of state power, overthrow of the socialist system, incitement to split the country, undermine national unity [or] promote terrorism [and] extremism.”  These are propaganda phrases China routinely uses.
