(ECNS) -- The first batch of 70 AI civil servants took office in Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, marking a significant step in the integration of artificial intelligence into government operations.
The newly launched digital workforce spans 11 major categories, covering the entire chain of government services. By precisely analyzing 240 government service scenarios, these AI employees handle tasks ranging from document processing and public services to emergency management and investment promotion, according to the official WeChat account of Futian District.
These AI civil servants were developed based on DeepSeek models. Their error rate in work maintains below five percent. In addition to leveraging DeepSeek's general capabilities, they have been customized to finish specific work of various departments.
Notably, the AI employees’ accuracy rate in dealing with document format reaches over 95 percent, while their review time reduces by 90 percent.
DeepSeek is cost-effective with good performance, making it affordable to be used in government affairs, said Meng Qingguo, a professor at the School of Public Policy and Management (SPPM), Tsinghua University. It performs well in terms of Chinese processing so that it is very suitable for use in Chinese scenes, including government affairs, Meng added.
