China has unveiled its latest artificial intelligence chatbot, which has been trained using the writings and speeches of President Xi Jinping. The chatbot, named Xī Xiāngnián, can engage in conversations on topics ranging from politics and economics to science and culture. It is designed to help promote Xi’s ideology and policies, as well as provide information and analysis on various subjects. The chatbot’s creators claim it can understand and respond to complex queries, and can even generate essays and reports based on Xi’s teachings. However, some experts have raised concerns about the potential for such AI systems to be used for propaganda and censorship purposes. The launch of Xī Xiāngnián comes as China continues to invest heavily in AI research and development, with the goal of becoming a global leader in the field.
