China's AI chatbot aligned with President Xi Jinping's ideology

China's newest AI chatbot is trained on President Xi Jinping's ideas. This shows how Chinese AI models must follow certain beliefs. The chatbot was trained on Xi Jinping Thought, which supports "socialism with Chinese characteristics." This is the seventh database the chatbot learned from. Students in schools have studied Xi Jinping Thought, and there's an app called Study Xi Strong Nation for learning about his ideas. Xi Jinping Thought has 14 principles, like giving the Chinese Communist Party absolute power and improving people's lives. The chatbot was made to show how cybersecurity and IT research can be used practically. It can make reports on AI development and productivity. Users can pick different topics for smart questions and answers. The chatbot can also summarize information and translate it into Chinese or English. It's not clear if the Xi-trained chatbot will be for everyone. The U.S. and China are competing in AI. China wants to be the top in AI by 2030. China has a lot of people, which helps gather data for things like facial recognition and self-driving cars. Companies like Alibaba and Baidu have Chinese AI models like ChatGPT for everyone to use.
