Generative AI Services

As explained in Introduction to Generative AI, Second Edition

The Generative AI Services measures are Chinese regulatory rules governing publicly available services that generate content with artificial-intelligence models.

Generative AI Services are Chinese regulatory measures for machine-generated content, created after existing deepfake rules failed to address synthetic text and offline generation. section 10.31

The measures developed through an iterative regulatory process:

  • The Cyberspace Administration of China issued draft measures in April 2023, building on Deep Synthesis Provisions that took effect in January. section 10.31
  • Interim rules took effect on August 15, 2023, applying to publicly available services in China while exempting research projects and services intended for overseas users. section 10.31
  • Earlier proposals required truthful, accurate, diverse, and rights-compliant training data; public debate led regulators to relax some requirements and support development. section 10.31

Filed services

By spring 2025, several hundred services had been filed under the rules, including DeepSeek large language models and a Baidu chatbot. section 10.31
