US and European users open to Chinese AI models like DeepSeek despite scrutiny: survey


Most US and European Union respondents in a recent survey said they were open to using artificial intelligence models from China, underscoring the growing international popularity of tech innovation from the world’s second-largest economy.
According to a report published this month by tech consultancy Artificial Analysis, which surveyed more than 1,000 users worldwide, 71 per cent of US respondents and 87 per cent of EU respondents expressed willingness to adopt Chinese large language models (LLMs) – the technology behind applications like chatbots and AI agents.

However, 59 per cent of EU respondents and 58 per cent of US respondents indicated they would only use such AI models hosted on non-Chinese infrastructure. That preference highlights the scrutiny Chinese models face globally, a concern that analysts suggested were not unfounded.

Chinese AI systems are often trained to provide “correct” answers regarding politically sensitive topics, a trait that may be viewed unfavourably by users in other countries, according to James Wang, general partner at US-based venture capital fund Creative Ventures.

“There are many specific historical or cultural questions that will lean towards either a Chinese context … or are deliberately reinforced to give the ‘correct’ answer from the Chinese government’s perspective,” Wang said.
