In a sweeping regulatory move aimed at curbing misinformation and enhancing transparency, Chinese authorities have announced new rules requiring all AI-generated content to be clearly labeled.
The directive, set to take effect on September 1, 2025, mandates both explicit and implicit labeling for text, images, audio, video, and virtual scenes produced by artificial intelligence.
Jointly issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the National Radio and Television Administration, the regulations require service providers to implement a two-tier labeling system. Explicit labels must be prominently displayed—whether as text, sound, or graphics—within the content or its user interface. Meanwhile, implicit labels, embedded in the metadata of digital files, must include detailed information such as the content’s attributes, the service provider’s name or code, and specific identification numbers.
The measures are designed to prevent the misuse of AI technologies by ensuring that users can readily distinguish between human-created and AI-generated content. Authorities warn that any malicious removal, tampering, forgery, or concealment of these labels is strictly prohibited, as are tools that facilitate such actions.
Officials say that the new rules aim to combat the spread of misinformation, fraud, and fake news by providing clear indicators of AI involvement. They also hope that the requirements will deter fraudulent practices and academic dishonesty while promoting the healthy development of AI technologies in China.
The comprehensive approach reflects a broader global trend toward increased oversight of AI, as similar initiatives have been introduced in the European Union and the United States. By holding digital platforms and service providers accountable, Chinese regulators are seeking to balance the benefits of rapid AI adoption with the need to safeguard social stability and national security.
The new regulations will apply to all online platforms and services operating within China, marking a significant step in the country’s efforts to govern the expanding role of artificial intelligence in modern media.
