This regulation applies on September 1, 2025 and will force all service providers (i.e. AI LLM) to “add clear labels to the generated and synthesized content.” The directive includes all data types: text, images, movies, audio and even virtual scenes. In addition, it also orders the App Stours to check if the applications that host in accordance with the regulations.
Users will still be able to ask for unknown content generated AI for “social fears and industrial needs”. However, the generating application must repeat this user requirement, as well as register information to facilitate tracking. Responsibility for adding a label generated by AI and metadata falls on the shoulders of this person or end user unit.
CAC also prohibits malicious removal, manipulation, forgery or concealing these AI labels, including providing tools that will lend a hand you carry out these acts. Although, of course, this means that you are prohibiting the removal of AI labels and metadata on the content generated by AI, it also prohibits adding this data identifier created by people.
CCP, through CAC, aims to control the spread of disinformation and preventing the confusion of Internet users by the content generated by AI by applying this right. At the moment, we have not seen any prescribed penalties for violates, but there is always a threat of legal proceedings of the Chinese government.
This is not the first law that tries to control the development and employ of AI technology, and the EU has adopted the Act on artificial intelligence in 2024. Many may negatively react to this CAC movement, especially since it is known for managing the great ignition of China to limit and control the Internet within China. Nevertheless, this movement will lend a hand reduce disinformation from everyone and everyone, especially when AI LLM becomes more advanced. By ensuring that artificially generated content is clearly marked, people can easily determine whether they are looking for a real event or something conjured up by a machine on some server farms.
