Read what @RoniBerkowitz and I had to say about DeepSeek and the stir it caused, calling for an examination of the broader politicization of LLMs - beyond China and beyond outputs
הרבה רעש היה בזמן האחרון סביב מודל השפה שהשיקה חברת DeepSeek, והאופן שבו הוא משקף הטיה פוליטית וצנזורה סינית. מוזמנים ומוזמנות לקרוא את הבלוג שכתבו תלמידות דוקטורט שלנו, רוני ברקוביץ ויעל רם, אשר מסביר מדוע מודלים כאלה הם פוליטיים בכמה וכמה רמות. ולא, זו לא רק המצאה של הסינים...
Excited to share my new blog post with @YaelRam15 for China Dialogues at @lseideas.
We explore LLM politics and how China’s DeepSeek model challenges the myth of “technical neutrality” 👇
