• China's new chatbot, Ernie, launched by Baidu, tends to deflect and avoid answering sensitive or controversial questions, reflecting China's strict censorship policies. Ernie, often touted as Baidu's response to ChatGPT, garnered significant attention upon its launch. However, its responses to queries on topics like Xi Jinping's absence from the G20 meeting or issues such as youth unemployment data are often non-committal or deflective. This censorship and selective response are consistent with China's broader online censorship practices, affecting various online platforms, including social media and chat apps.
