Given restrictions in China, AI Mate, comparable to Bing Chat of Microsoft Corp MSFT, will generate content related to domestic references and avoid political queries. Once it is opened, AI Mate will also ask users to provide feedback for improvements.
As per the report, last month, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a new draft rule requiring companies to offer generative AI services to support Chinese socialist values and abstain from generating content that suggests authority subversion, violence, pornography, or disrupts economic or social order.
