Chinese Regulator Unveils Draft To Manage AI Firms

April 10, 2023

China's cyberspace regulator unveiled draft measures for managing generative artificial intelligence services.

The rules drafted by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) come as several governments around the world are contemplating regulating AI firms.

As reported earlier, a slew of Chinese tech giants, including Baidu, SenseTime and Alibaba revealed their plans to launch their ChatGPT-like services.

The CAC said that China supports AI innovation but content generated by generative AI had to be in line with the country’s core socialist values.

Providers will be responsible for the legitimacy of data used to train generative AI products.

The regulator also said that measures should be taken to prevent discrimination when designing algorithms and training data.

Italy, Canada and several other countries have already restricted ChatGPT-like services with recent investigations.
