Chiral symmetry is indeed present in weak interactions, distinguishing between left and right-handed particles. This local chiral symmetry is a defining characteristic of weak interactions, setting them apart from Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which exhibit identical couplings to left and right-handed fermions, classifying them as non-chiral theories. Understanding this distinction is crucial for grasping the fundamental principles of particle physics.
