Chinese government restricts access to ChatGPT

According to Japan's Nikkei Asia newspaper, the Communist Party of China (CCP) has recommended that technology companies Tencent and Alibaba prevent access to ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence program from American company OpenAI backed by Microsoft. The CCP's concern is that the tool can provide answers without censorship or control from Chinese agencies.

Although ChatGPT is not officially available in China, some users have managed to access it through a virtual private network. The measure is not unprecedented, as China has previously blocked foreign sites and applications such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and Wikipedia.

According to China Daily, the program "could help the U.S. government in its spread of disinformation and manipulation of global narratives for its own geopolitical interests." Tech companies will now have to report to regulators before launching artificial intelligence services similar to ChatGPT.

What is Chat GPT 3

Chat GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) is an artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence research company founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other entrepreneurs.

It is one of the largest language models ever created, with 175 billion parameters trained on a dataset. It is capable of generating natural language responses and texts that closely resemble something that could be produced by a human.
