Evaluating Reliability Asymmetries in Chinese Factual Search and AI Answers

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2602.22221v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Search engines and AI-powered systems increasingly mediate access to factual information, yet their reliability remains difficult to evaluate in realistic information-seeking settings. We study this problem in the Chinese web ecosystem by constructing a query-based fact-checking dataset from real Chinese search logs and comparing nine systems across traditional search engines, standalone large language models, and search-integrated AI Overviews.
