China’s cyber regulators have introduced draft regulations aimed at strictly overseeing artificial intelligence that mimics human personalities or fosters emotional connections with users. These rules require service providers to monitor for psychological risks, such as user addiction or extreme emotional states, and mandate proactive intervention when necessary. Companies must prioritize data security and algorithm transparency while ensuring their products do not generate content that threatens national security or public order. By imposing these ethical and safety standards, the government seeks to control the social impact of consumer-facing AI technologies throughout their entire lifecycle.
