NEW: A leaked database shows that China is training an LLM to find even subtle hints of dissent across a wide array of sensitive topics, from political satire to corruption, Taiwan, and more. The LLM has already been fed a whopping 133,000 examples of content.

The LLM explicitly targets any content likely to stir up social unrest, including: - Posts about corrupt Chinese cops - Complaints about rural poverty - Labor disputes - Pollution & food safety scandals - Satire of political leaders

This adds to growing evidence that authoritarian regimes are quickly adopting the latest AI tech. E.g. OpenAI said last month that it caught multiple entities, likely from China, using LLMs to track anti-government posts and smear Chinese dissidents.

“Unlike traditional censorship mechanisms, which rely on human labor for keyword-based filtering and manual review, an LLM trained on such instructions would significantly improve the efficiency and granularity of state-led information control,” expert Xiao Qiang told TechCrunch.
