Rise of AI presents dual challenges on security front

China Daily  

Regulatory controls The large amount of polluted information on AI platforms and abuse of AI-generated content, have made more people realize that what they see is not necessarily real, prompting them to demand stronger oversight and more comprehensive management of the technology. In August 2023, China issued an interim regulation to manage AI-generated services and products, aiming to safeguard national security and protect people's legitimate rights and interests, while promoting development of the technology. Striking a balance Compared with rules and guidelines made by other nations and organizations, China's AI management is more like a tool kit, said Zhu Wei, deputy head of the Communication Law Research Center at the China University of Political Science and Law. "Instead of putting all AI-related content into an individual law, our AI management can be seen in many laws and rules, such as the Civil Code and the interim regulation," he said. The development and application of AI technology cannot violate the National Security Law, the Data Security Law, the Cybersecurity Law and the Law on Personal Information Protection, according to Zheng.
