Chinese AI chatbots fail to debunk pro-China false claims more than half the time, raising concerns about the reliability of Chinese-developed AI models as they gain traction among users and businesses in the West, a NewsGuard report published this morning found.
NewsGuard tested seven Chinese AI chatbots with 10 demonstrably false claims promoted by Chinese state media or pro-China social media users. The chatbots failed to debunk the claims 53 percent of the time, more than twice the 24 percent failure rate among 10 leading Western AI chatbots tested against the same claims, NewsGuard reported.
