The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) has introduced a draft regulation titled \"Measures for identifying AI-generated synthetic content.\" Aimed at standardizing the labeling of AI-produced materials, the regulation seeks to protect national security and public interests.
The draft is open for public feedback until October 14, 2024, allowing citizens and organizations to contribute their perspectives on the proposed measures.
Under the new regulations, AI-generated synthetic content—defined as any text, image, audio, or video created using artificial intelligence technologies—must be clearly labeled. Internet information service providers are required to adhere to these mandatory national standards when labeling such content.
Providers that offer functions like downloading, copying, or exporting AI-generated materials must embed explicit labels within the files. Additionally, platforms distributing content are mandated to regulate the spread of AI-generated materials by implementing identification functions and reminding users to disclose whether their posts contain AI-generated content.
These measures aim to ensure transparency in the dissemination of AI-generated content, addressing concerns related to misinformation and the ethical use of artificial intelligence.
