DeepSeek is a Win for China in the A.I. Race. Will the Party Stifle It? Advertisement You have been granted access, use your keyboard to continue reading. The success embodies China’s ambitions in artificial intelligence. But it could also threaten the grip on power the nation’s leaders hold. Chinese regulation of A.I. Has varied in intensity over the years, depending on where the country assesses its strengths and weaknesses. When the Chinese government was worried it had fallen behind the United States in 2022 after the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, it took a more hands-off approach that ultimately allowed ventures like DeepSeek and others to thrive. Chinese commentators have held up DeepSeek’s achievement as evidence that U.S. Restrictions on exports of A.I. Chips to China are ultimately futile. Even the recent allegations by OpenAI that deepSeek improperly harvested its data to build its models have not deterred its fans in China. China has used facial recognition and algorithms to supercharge its ability to surveil its people and snuff out dissent. Some analysts say there are most likely no restraints on A.I. Development when it comes to China’s military. In 2023, just months after ChatGPT set off investment frenzy over artificial intelligence, China issued rules aimed at controlling what Chinese chatbots say to users. This has led to awkward responses to seemingly benign questions like, “Who is Xi Jinping?” Researchers testing its capabilities have found that the bot gives answers that spread Chinese propaganda and even parrot disinformation campaigns. A.I. In China may only advance as far as the government decides it can mitigate those risks. David Pierson covers Chinese foreign policy and China’s economic and cultural engagement with the world.
