Chinese internet regulators have reported significant progress in a targeted campaign to clean up disorder in the application of artificial intelligence. The initiative has led to the removal of more than 14,000 non-compliant AI products, including websites, applications, and intelligent agents.
Since April of this year, the Cyberspace Administration of China has focused the first phase of its "Clear and Bright: Rectifying AI Application Disorder" campaign on key issues. These include the failure to properly register large AI models, insufficient platform security and content filtering capabilities, AI data poisoning, and inadequate labeling of AI-generated content. Authorities have established a dedicated public reporting channel for violations related to AI applications.
Statistics show that during this initial phase, over 14,000 AI products were taken down. The operation also resulted in the removal of more than 6 million pieces of illegal or non-compliant information, the suspension of over 26,000 accounts, the delisting of approximately 1,300 illicit AI products, and the takedown of 9 non-compliant open-source datasets.
Moving forward, the regulatory focus will shift to the second phase of the campaign. This will target prominent problems such as using AI to create and disseminate false information, spread violent or vulgar content, impersonate others, infringe on the rights of minors, and engage in online paid commenting activities. The authorities plan to intensify efforts to investigate and penalize offending accounts and organizations, aiming to steer the development of artificial intelligence in a positive and beneficial direction.
