BEIJING -- The Chinese government is increasingly wary of interactive artificial intelligence services that are becoming ever more sophisticated, cracking down on what it sees as a potential threat to official doctrine on sensitive issues.
A Chinese startup and ChatGPT, a chatbot run by the U.S. company OpenAI, are among firms that have recently been forced to suspend their services, apparently because their AI technology sometimes gave answers contradictory to Beijing's views.
According to Chinese media and other sources, the Chinese AI-powered bot ChatYuan was made unavailable three days after its launch in early February for violating regulations, although the suspension appears to be attributable to its responses.
