The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) released Draft Measures for the Management of Generative AI Services (the “Draft Measures”) on April 11, 2023. The comment period closed on May 10, 2023. Public statements by industry participants and legal experts provided insight into the likely content of their comments. It is now the turn of the CAC as China’s “cyber super-regulator” to consider these comments and likely produce a revised text.
This blog post analyzes the provisions and implications of the Draft Measures. It covers the Draft Measures’ scope of application, how they apply to the development and deployment lifecycle of generative AI systems, and how they deal with the ability of generative AI systems to “hallucinate” (that is, produce inaccurate or baseless output). It also highlights potential developments and contextual points about the Draft Measures that industry and observers should pay attention to.
Published by the Future of Privacy Forum blog. The blog post builds on insights developed in the context of Guarini Global Law & Tech’s conference on “how (not) to regulate generative AI”.
