Chinese technology giants from Alibaba to Baidu have announced their intentions to launch ChatGPT-style products.
Paulina Likos"Given all the regulatory focus on both tech platforms and AI algorithms over the past year by a range of government bodies, the big tech platforms are not eager to draw attention to themselves by putting out a chatbot/generative AI tool that gets them in hot water," Paul Triolo, the technology policy lead at consulting firm Albright Stonebridge, told CNBC.is developed by U.S. firm OpenAI.
Chinese authorities have heavy control over internet content, often blocking sites or censoring content that does not sit well with Beijing. ChatGPT is not officially blocked in China but OpenAI does not allow users in the country to sign up. The fact that ChatGPT will answer questions on sensitive topics in China is likely a concern to Beijing's authorities.
"ChatGPT poses some unique challenges for Beijing. The app, trained on western uncensored data, represents a more powerful type of search engine than Google or others that are also uncensored outside of China," Triolo said, adding that he "would not be surprised" if the service was eventually blocked in the world's second-largest economy.
