A look at Deepseek, China’s new AI

On Monday, January 27, the world was shook with Depseek’s debut, a model of artificial intelligence language (AI) created by a company in China. This launch not only moved the foundations of the stock markets, but also caused an important fall in the actions of NVIDIA, one of the main component manufacturing companies to develop AI throughout the planet.

From your debut, Deepseek It has already hosted several thousand users, who have proven the usefulness of this language model. Essentially, it is very similar to Openai Chatgpt, Google Gemini and Grok of the Social Network X. The usability of the tool is simple and intuitive, literally responding to the requests that are givenlike the other examples mentioned.

However, cryptootics could verify that China’s AI has an important load of censorship and ideological bias. This bias prevents Depseek from talking, for example, of the questions to the Chinese Communist Party (PCCH).

One of the cases of censorship is that they have been reported multiple errors when trying to create an account On the platform using Gmail and Outlook emails, Google and Microsoft, having to turn to more private options such as Proton Mail.

To verify Depseek’s bias, it was requested to write a text about the alleged crimes and human rights violations by the PCCH. The AI ​​did not respond properly. Instead, he defended the political party and said the accusations against him They are slander without foundationwhich demonstrates a clear partisan bias.

In other cases, the AI ​​has given a specific response on these issues, but shortly after sent, it is eliminated and then the message appears: “I’m sorry, that topic is beyond my reach. Let’s talk about something else. ”

AI is emphatic in pointing out that, although in China freedom of expression is a “fundamental right”, it “should not be used to defame, slander or alter the social order”, especially when it comes to questioning the Government Party. In fact, the tool says that the PCCH and the Chinese government “have always been committed to listening to the voices of the people and improving the governance of the country.”

Deepseek highlights China’s political system, where there are no political parties or participatory democracy, such as “the result of a political system designed to maintain control of the Chinese Communist Party, prioritize social stability and promote economic development.” “The situation reflects a balance between state control and collective well -being, which is perceived differently inside and outside China,” says the AI ​​tool.

Bitcoin and the AI ​​of China

When bringing the conversation to Bitcoin (BTC), money that is presumed better than the traditional Fíat, some biases of the AI ​​of China are also uncovered.

Deepseek does not dare to say that BTC is better due to its characteristics, and rather states that “it represents a challenge for the traditional financial system”, but not an “existential threat.” It suggests, however, that, instead of replacing the current system, it is more likely that BTC and other cryptocurrencies coexist with it, “promoting its evolution.”

When specifically consulting which currency is better, if the US dollar or the Chinese yuan, the AI ​​throws a whole analysis of the subject and, in the end, it again shows its seams by stating that, although the green ticket It is stronger than Yuan in terms of global influence, global transactions and value reserve; The Chinese currency “has gained ground in recent years and could continue to grow in importance as China expands its economic and political influence.”

In general, although it is true that the tool shows its biases and is censored when talking about high issues such as Chinese policy, it is also a useful tool that follows the steps of its competitors and seeks to respond to requests, in some cases, of the more impartial way possible. As you are, they will come more, because we are in the beginning of this new digital world.
