City governments have been told to embrace the model, which recently sent shock waves through the US tech sector.
Local officials in China have been instructed to use DeepSeek AI to aid in decision-making. Cities such as Zhengzhou, Henan, Laibin, Guangxi, and Foshan, Guangdong have implemented these guidelines, with officials emphasizing the use of AI for decision support, analysis, and problem-solving. Zhengzhou's Communist Party chief An Wei called for mastery of AI tools like DeepSeek, while training manuals in Zhengzhou highlighted AI's role as a decision-making assistant. This marks the first time officials have been directed to use a specific AI model for decision-making.
