China is testing a new chatbot that allows citizens to ask President Xi Jinping how to be better socialists. The chatbot was trained on President Xi’s philosophies on socialism and several major internet information databases. It is being developed by the Cyberspace Research Institute and will be deployed through a dedicated server within the institute. Users can choose from different knowledge base categories and engage in intelligent question-and-answer sessions with the chatbot. The chatbot can also generate manuscripts, summarize text, and perform translations.
