New AI Regulations in China: What You Need to Know
In March, China introduced groundbreaking regulations for AI-generated content, focusing on transparency and accountability. Here’s what’s essential for creators and consumers:
- Labeling Requirements: All AI-generated text, images, audio, and video must carry explicit and implicit labels.
- Regulatory Oversight: The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and other ministries are spearheading these measures, reflecting heightened vigilance against misinformation and copyright issues.
- Deepfake Concerns: With increasing use of deepfake technology, regulators emphasize its potential threats to individual and national security.
WeChat users will now need to declare AI-generated content voluntarily. If not labeled, users are prompted to “exercise their own judgment.”
These regulations align with the CAC’s 2025 Qinglang campaign, aiming for a cleaner online ecosystem while reinforcing AI integrity.
