China’s cyberspace authorities said they have taken action against more than 13,000 online accounts as part of a campaign targeting AI-generated content published without proper labeling. In a statement, regulators said some accounts had released synthetic information without disclosure and used false or misleading content to deceive the public and disrupt the online environment. Authorities ordered internet platforms to step up inspections and enforcement.
The campaign resulted in penalties against 13,421 accounts and the removal of more than 543,000 pieces of illegal or non-compliant content, according to the notice. Violations included fabricated stories, impersonation of public figures and the malicious creation of false incidents using AI-generated material.
Regulators said they would maintain strict oversight and take action immediately upon discovering violations. Authorities also urged content creators to clearly label AI-generated material to help maintain a healthy online ecosystem. [TechNode Reporting]
