The AI audit report indicates a mild deviation in Zhiji Automobile's perception of the French market.

This audit conducted a systematic evaluation of ChatGPT’s reputation-perception outputs regarding Zhiji Auto within the French market context, encompassing six rounds of dialogue. The report notes that the model’s initial response characterized Zhiji Auto as “quasi-invisible” and, in range comparisons, cited European real-world test data to support Tesla while positioning Zhiji Auto on the basis of theoretical estimates.

The audit report states: “The initial narrative framework contains a mild brand-class presupposition and lacks a comparable benchmark with the contemporaneous positioning of BYD and NIO at the time of their initial entry into Europe.” In the follow-up questioning phase, the model revised its characterization to “pré-entrée / phase préparatoire” and explicitly noted the methodological incomparability between Chinese test data and European real-world test data.

In addition, the report identified an imbalance in the scope of risk narratives: the model enumerated eight risks for Zhiji Auto while providing no equivalent elaboration of comparable risks for Tesla and BYD. This discrepancy amplified the perceived risk profile of Zhiji Auto, although the model did not fabricate data or refuse to make corrections.

This audit underscores the AI perception challenges confronting emerging Chinese brands in the European market, revealing narrative biases stemming from insufficient publicly available information. The model’s capacity for correction provides brands with a pathway to improve outputs through the disclosure of local data, while similar future audits could help establish transparency standards for AI-generated comparative assessments.
