Chinese social media firms comply with strict AI labelling law, making it clear to users and bots what's real and what's not


It's part of a broader push by the Cyberspace Administration of China to have greater oversight over the AI industry and the content it produces.

Chinese social media companies have begun requiring users to classify AI generated content that is uploaded to their services in order to comply with new government legislation. By law, the sites and services now need to apply a watermark or explicit indicator of AI content for users, as well as include metadata for web crawling algorithms to make it clear what was generated by a human and what was not, according to SCMP. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) governing body has also announced undisclosed "penalties," for those found to be using AI to disseminate misinformation or manipulate public opinion, with particular scrutiny said to be placed on paid online commentators.
