The new AI application, DeepZang, focused exclusively on Tibetans, which security experts believe is designed not merely to expand technological access but to shape how information about Tibet is created, accessed and understood in support of Beijing’s narratives.
The experts have said the Chinese government had introduced multiple AI-driven applications in the region, but that the one that stands out is DeepZang, a platform described as far more than a language technology tool. They have said the app, launched in March this year, is part of a broader strategy aimed at influencing narratives and tightening informational control within Tibetan society.
