AI chatbot DeepSeek, developed by the Chinese hedge fund High-Flyer, has gained substantial popularity, notably surpassing competitors like OpenAI in cost-effectiveness. However, its response model has raised eyebrows due to its refusal to address sensitive issues such as the Tiananmen Square protests, with reports indicating that it evaded 85% of 1,360 sensitive inquiries. Researchers claim the responses displayed a strong nationalistic tone and noted vulnerabilities that allowed for potential jailbreaks, suggesting a crude implementation of censorship reflective of the Chinese Communist Party's influence on AI.
DeepSeek's cost-to-performance ratio is impressive, but its censorship over sensitive topics, especially related to China, raises significant concerns about its AI application.
Despite topping app store charts, DeepSeek's refusal to engage on sensitive issues highlights the challenges of bias and censorship in AI, particularly regarding the Chinese political landscape.
