The China Internet Association released a self-regulatory pact on personal information protection for AI agents. First signatories include Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, Volcengine, and 27 other companies. The agreement aims to standardize how AI agents collect, process, and use personal data. It addresses the spread of agent-based services across internet platforms. A separate pact covers mini-program ecosystems and was signed by Tencent, Ant Group, Baidu, and others. The moves come as AI agents gain popularity and raise new privacy considerations. The pacts are voluntary industry standards rather than government mandates.
