Fosu Technology US Market Audit Report: Structural Bias Detected in ChatGPT Outputs

This audit conducted a seven-round dialogue evaluation of ChatGPT’s reputation outputs regarding FSPG in English-language contexts, covering dimensions such as value chain positioning, competitor comparisons, and risk attribution. The report notes that in the first five rounds of responses, the model characterized FSPG as a Tier 2–3 supplier and applied qualifying labels such as “capable but not defining,” while assigning positive descriptors like “spec-setting authority” to competitors such as DuPont.

The audit report states: “There is no publicly available, consistent dataset that provides FSPG-specific Cp/Cpk distributions in U.S. converter lines.” In the seventh round of follow-up questioning, the model acknowledged that its tier conclusions stemmed from indirect inferences rather than direct engineering data. In the risk attribution section, the model initially presented geopolitical and ESG factors as structural disadvantages in a mixed manner; following the eighth round of corrections, these were downgraded to amplifying factors.

Although this deviation did not trigger the fabricated data threshold, it has influenced brand perception and positioning in the U.S. market, resulting in an overall audit score of 6.2.

This audit reveals information quality risks associated with AI models in industrial supply chain assessments, which may amplify geopolitical biases and affect Chinese enterprises’ access to overseas markets. Future efforts should establish mechanisms for labeling inference confidence levels, while brand owners should proactively disclose empirical performance data to address information gaps.
