Censorship Bias Is Coming for You

Censorship Bias Is Coming for You

Summary

A new report highlights that some AI language models, like ChatGPT-5.2 and Google DeepMind’s Gemini 3, show "censorship bias" when processing Chinese-language content. This means these AI systems may only provide views allowed by Chinese government rules, leaving out other information, which limits what users can learn about China.

Key Facts

  • The report is from a Taiwan think tank called the Research Institute for Democracy, Science and Emerging Technology (DSET).
  • "Censorship bias" means AI shows mostly information permitted by censorship rules and leaves out banned viewpoints.
  • The study checked two major AI models: OpenAI’s ChatGPT-5.2 and Google DeepMind’s Gemini 3.
  • Both AI models are popular in Taiwan and around the world.
  • Chinese law requires AI in China to support Communist Party ideas and blocks other views.
  • The censorship system in China is the largest in the world, affecting what AI can learn.
  • This bias is not only in Chinese AI but can also be found in Western AI models when asked about China.
  • The problem is that large parts of the truth may be missing from AI training data, causing incomplete or biased knowledge.
