The China Internet Association released a self-regulatory pact on personal information protection for AI agents at a forum in Beijing, with Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, Volcengine, and 27 other internet companies among the first signatories.
The pact is aimed at standardizing how AI agents collect, process, and use personal data as agent-based services spread across internet platforms. The association also released a separate self-regulatory pact for mini-program ecosystems, signed by Tencent, Ant Group, Baidu, and other platform operators. [IT Home, in Chinese]
