In response to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), the Cyberspace Administration of China (the CAC) recently published two draft regulations submitted for public consultation: Measures for labeling content generated by artificial intelligence or synthetic content (the AI Labeling Metrics Project) and Cybersecurity Technology – Method of labeling content generated by artificial intelligence (the Draft standard on labeling method). The Draft Labeling Method Standard is a mandatory national standard that serves as a supporting and implementing rule for AI labeling measures. Both regulations aim to combat the risks associated with deepfakes and ensure the authenticity and credibility of publicly available information.
