The PRC has not yet established a formal categorisation of AI technologies based on their associated risk levels. Nevertheless, specific laws and regulations provide requirements for certain use cases and services with certain capabilities. For example:

• Each of the three pieces of regulation referred to above require providers of services with public opinion attributes or social mobilisation capabilities to perform record-filing procedures and conduct security assessments in accordance with laws.

• Under the Deep Synthesis Provisions, the generated or edited information of certain deep synthesis services that may cause confusion among the public must be labelled with regard to its deep synthesis status prominently, including:
  • smart dialogue or similar services that simulate a human to generate or edit texts;
  • speech generation services (e.g. voice synthesis or voice imitation services);
  • services that generate images or videos of people (e.g. face generation, face swapping, face manipulation or posture manipulation);
  • immersive simulated scene generation, editing or other services;
  • any other editing services that significantly alter personal identification characteristics; and
  • any other services that generate or significantly altering information content.

The same labelling obligations are also reiterated in the GenAI Measures.
