The tool appears to serve the Chinese government's long-standing goals of controlling online narratives, using artificial intelligence to identify dissent far more efficiently than traditional methods. The scale and sophistication of the dataset shows how authoritarian regimes are beginning to deploy AI to tighten grips over online discourse. While China has long censored information through keyword filters and human oversight, the new model leverages the capabilities of generative AI to detect more nuanced or coded expressions of dissent.
