Chinese Local Governments Employ DeepSeek AI to Detect Corruption
Chinese regional authorities are integrating DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence to combat corruption and inefficiency, following a central government mandate to embrace the technology. This shift signals a growing reliance on AI to enhance governance and oversight.
In Suihua, a city within the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, the local disciplinary department leveraged the AI platform and big data analytics to uncover potential welfare benefit fraud. According to the Heilongjiang Daily, the local government conducted an in-depth analysis of data related to deaths and provisions for the elderly and disabled, which “greatly improved the precision, efficiency and scientificity of supervision and discipline work”. This analysis led to the identification of 11 suspicious cases.
In Zhengzhou, a significant city in central China, officials reported that DeepSeek had successfully identified potential misconduct in the auction of state-owned enterprises. The technology cross-referenced information of public officials with bidding data, effectively highlighting potential corruption.
