China has unveiled the draft around security measures for generative AI-based companies. These guidelines seem to impose limits on data authorities utilised for artificial intelligence (AI) blueprints’ preparation, as stated by Cointelegraph.
According to Cointelegraph, on October 11, 2023, the guidelines were unveiled by the National Information Security Standardisation Committee. From what it’s understood, officials belonging to the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and law enforcement agencies comprise the committee.
Based on Cointelegraph’s data, the committee aims to promote security guidelines over the content intended for publicly available generative AI prototypes. It’s believed that content crossing the threshold of “five percent in the form of unlawful and detrimental information” will be subjected to blacklisting. Reportedly, this classification involves content advocating terrorism, violence, subversion of the socialist system, harm to the country’s reputation and actions undermining national cohesion and societal stability.
Moreover, Cointelegraph noted that the draft guidelines also focuses on data subject to censorship on the Chinese internet, and that it shouldn’t be used as a training ground for the blueprints. Sources suggest that this event occurred after a month post regulatory authorities gave permission to Chinese technology companies to supply generative AI-oriented chatbots for the overall public.
