Show Notes

What happens when you ask five leading AI models—four from China and one from the West—the same sensitive historical question? This episode details an experiment testing models from Xiaomi, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, and Google Gemini on their responses regarding the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The results range from total silence to overt propaganda to a full factual account, revealing the profound impact of political systems on AI censorship and information control.
