It's the antithesis of open-sourced, i.e., it's close-sourced.\u00a0 What are the implications of that for a vibrant, powerful system of thought?<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

China\u2019s top internet regulator has rolled out a large language model (LLM) based on Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s political philosophy<\/span><\/a>, a closed AI system that it says is \u201csecure and reliable\u201d.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
The machine learning language model was launched by the China Cyberspace Research Institute, which operates under the Cyberspace Administration of China<\/span><\/a>, the national regulator.<\/div>\r\n

The philosophy, along with other selected cyberspace themes that are aligned with the official government narrative, make up the core content of the LLM, according to a post published on Monday on the WeChat account of the administration\u2019s magazine.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe professionalism and authority of the corpus ensure the professional quality of the generated content,\u201d the administration said in the post.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
The philosophy is officially known as \u201cXi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era\u201d<\/span><\/a>, and includes his instructions on all aspects of political, social and economic life. It was enshrined in China\u2019s constitution in 2018.<\/div>\r\n

In other words this machine learning model is all-encompassing, so long as the content fits within the bounds of \u201cXi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era\u201d<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
