New Chinese rules for generative AI: Highlights
➤ Background:
👉The rules are a part of the Chinese "Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services".
👉Below is my summary of key articles in the Chinese document. It's based on a google translation of the document, so take it with a grain of salt. If anyone knows of a reliable translation, please let me know.
👉 I think these rules are laws, but I'm not certain because the title of the document is "interim measures". I couldn't find an answer on this, if anyone knows, please chime in.
