A new study found that many artificial intelligence chatbots, when learning Chinese, read a lot of articles from Chinese state media.
So when people ask political questions in Chinese, AI is more likely to give answers close to the official position; if the same question is asked in English, the answer is often not as obvious.
The researchers also found that some phrases commonly used by official sources can sometimes be continued directly by AI, suggesting that this content may already be in the training data.
The study also says this situation is not limited to China: in countries where the news is not very free, AI is also more likely to support the government when answering in the local language.
Experts warn that more and more people will use AI to find information in the future, so AI companies should be more open about where their training data comes from, and they should also check whether answers in different languages are fair and reliable.
