China Implements New Regulations for Generative AI Services, Including ChatGPT

China has taken a significant step in regulating generative artificial intelligence (AI) services, such as ChatGPT, by publishing new rules to manage the industry. These rules, announced by the Cyberspace Administration of China, are set to take effect on August 15, making China one of the first countries in the world to regulate this technology.

Compared to the preliminary draft released in April, the published version, known as “interim measures,” has relaxed several provisions, indicating that Beijing sees potential in the nascent industry as it seeks to stimulate economic growth and job creation. This move comes after a regulatory crackdown on China’s tech giants, culminating in a hefty fine imposed on fintech company Ant Group. Many of these tech giants, including Alibaba, Baidu, and JD.com, are now developing their own AI chatbot services.

The new rules will only apply to services available to the general public in China, excluding technology being developed in research institutions or intended for use by overseas users. The language indicating punitive measures, including high fines for violations, has also been removed from the current version.

The Chinese government’s document announcing the rules emphasizes its encouragement of innovative use of generative AI in all industries and fields. It supports the development of secure and trustworthy chips, software, tools, computing power, and data sources. China also urges platforms to participate in the formulation of international rules and standards related to generative AI.

A key requirement for generative AI service providers under the rules is to conduct security reviews and register their algorithms with the government if their services have the potential to influence public opinion or mobilize the public.

The emergence of generative AI, which powers platforms like ChatGPT, has led to a surge in popularity. Chinese tech companies are now racing to release their own versions, raising concerns about a potential US-China rivalry in emerging technologies.

China’s early moves in regulating AI have given it a significant advantage over other countries in the global race to establish guidelines for government use of AI. However, questions have been raised about whether these regulations could stifle innovation in China’s AI industry, which is a key component of its ambition to compete with the United States in high-tech sectors.

Citi analysts suggested that China’s approach to AI regulation may mirror its strict censorship in areas such as the internet and social media, where controlling the flow of information is a priority.

To address these concerns, the new guidelines stress the importance of striking a balance between development and security. The rules will be overseen by seven national agencies, including the cyberspace watchdog, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Education.
