In recent years, deep synthesis technology has developed rapidly. While serving user needs and improving user experience, it has also been used by some unscrupulous people to produce, copy, publish, and disseminate illegal and harmful information, to slander and belittle others' reputation and honor, and to counterfeit others' identities. Committing fraud, etc., affects the order of communication and social order, damages the legitimate rights and interests of the people, and endangers national security and social stability.
The introduction of the "Regulations" is a need to prevent and resolve security risks, and it is also a need to promote the healthy development of in-depth synthetic services and improve the level of supervision capabilities.
Providers of deep synthesis services shall add signs that do not affect the use of information content generated or edited using their services. Services that provide functions such as intelligent dialogue, synthesized human voice, human face generation, and immersive realistic scenes that generate or significantly change information content, shall be marked prominently to avoid public confusion or misidentification.
It is required that no organization or individual shall use technical means to delete, tamper with, or conceal relevant marks.
aww hell yes
This seems to intentionally cut out AI generation of obviously-fake scenes, like that one image model that turns you into an anime character, from the regulation. I guess they're focused specifically on images and text that could be confused for actual photographs or people, but it will be interesting to see if this is where they leave it or if another regulation comes down for AI-generated images that aren't trying to mimic reality.
I don't think there's any real concerns about victimless uses of AI.
I mean fair enough, but sooner or later some government is going to have to come up with an answer to the copyright question when a model generates an image that's really similar to an extant work.
Yeah, that is the question that Western governments will probably tackle. Shows how utterly unconcerned with copyright I am, it's just not a thing I've ever considered legitimate lol, that I didn't even think of it.

Fun fact!
You can't do that in Western countries either!
Now I'm getting all meta and imagining that some ai put out this "official proclamation" as a deep fake.
"AI, please write an article from Ars Technica entitled "China bans AI-generated media without watermarks""
