The recent controversy surrounding the Boox e-reader, powered by ByteDance's AI assistant, has highlighted the potential for Chinese propaganda to infiltrate U.S. products. Users reported that the assistant provided responses denying Chinese government atrocities and portraying North Korea positively. This has raised concerns about the implications of using Chinese AI models in Western markets. Following the backlash, Boox has reportedly reverted to OpenAI's GPT-3, but the current AI model remains undisclosed. Experts warn of the risks associated with deploying Chinese generative AI tools globally.
