Local officials in China told to use DeepSeek AI to help them make decisions


City governments have been told to embrace the model, which recently sent shock waves through the US tech sector.

The local political research department has also distributed a training manual to its cadres that said AI could help the department act as “an adviser and assistant to serve the scientific decision-making of the municipal party committee”, according to the Shanghai-based media outlet ThePaper.cn. Elsewhere, cadres in Laibin, in the southern region of Guangxi, were told on Tuesday they should “proactively embrace and learn new technologies” and “apply artificial intelligence to assist in decision-making, analysis and problem-solving”, official media reported. On the same day, the party newspaper in Foshan, a city in neighbouring Guangdong province, said DeepSeek could “provide intelligent support for government decision-making” after it was integrated into the local online government service system.
