China has released new rules about AI technology that creates things like text, images, and audio. These rules are meant to help the government have more control over AI-based services and products in the country. They also want the companies that make these AI systems to be responsible for what the AI creates.
Some important points from these rules are:
- AI-generated content should follow the main values of socialism.
- AI should respect intellectual property rights and commercial ethics.
- Companies using AI to create things like chat, text, image, or audio services should be responsible for the content made by the AI.
- Before using AI products for public services, companies must get approval from the government department in charge of cyberspace and information.
- Users of AI services must provide their real identity information.
- If AI creates content that doesn't follow the rules, companies must fix the problem within three months.
The Chinese government seems to think that AI systems and the companies that create them can have a big influence on politics and people's beliefs. This is why they want to have more control over these AI systems.
Paul Triolo, an expert in Chinese business and economics, says that China is trying to create new rules that make companies follow the government's political beliefs when they develop their AI models. This is a new challenge for the government and the companies that make AI technology.
These new rules show that different countries might have similar concerns when it comes to AI safety and making sure AI follows the right values.
