Beijing lists the stuff it wants generative AI to censor
Wed 12 Apr 2023
As China's tech giants deploy their ChatGPT clones, Beijing has released proposed regulations for research, development and use of generative AI chatbots, without quite answering whether the tools can conform to socialist ideals.
The draft rules, published yesterday by the Cyberspace Administration of China and grandly titled
Administrative Measures for Generative Artificial Intelligence Services, detail 21 articles that call for AI-generated content to “reflect the core values of socialism, and must not contain subversion of state power, overthrow of the socialist system, incitement to split the country.”
The document also lays out a firm prohibition against promoting terrorism, extremism, ethnic hatred and discrimination. Violence, obscene and pornographic information, false information, and content that may disrupt economic and social order are also prohibited.
The rules put the onus on designers of AI tools to prevent discrimination, based on race, ethnicity, belief, country, region, gender, age, occupation, through careful selection of training data, algorithm design and any other optimizations.
Users must register with their real name and those that provide generative AI services, or help other do so, will be assumed to be the producer of the content produced by the bots. That producer assumes responsibility for any related privacy measures – including those associated with personal information.
