China, South Korea Tighten Rules on AI-Generated Virtual Personas
Draft rules would require clear labels on virtual personas and bar services that mislead or addict children, while limiting harmful content and misuse of personal data.
- On Friday, The Cyberspace Administration issued draft regulations to oversee digital humans, requiring clear labeling and banning services that could mislead children or fuel addiction.
- Following China's five-year policy blueprint issued last month prioritizing aggressive artificial intelligence adoption, these rules fill governance gaps in the digital human sector.
- Providers must label all content and are prohibited from offering "virtual intimate relationships" to those under 18, while regulations ban creating digital humans using personal information without consent.
- Virtual humans cannot disseminate content endangering national security or inciting subversion. Service Providers must intervene when users exhibit suicidal tendencies, ensuring alignment with national values.
- Public comments on the draft remain open until May 6 as Beijing views this governance as a strategic necessity for cyberspace security and the digital economy.
