The Cyberspace Administration of China issued an announcement summarizing the registration work for generative artificial intelligence services and emphasized the importance of promoting innovative development and standardizing applications. The announcement shows that as of December 31, 2024, 302 generative artificial intelligence services have been registered, of which 238 will be added in 2024, reflecting the booming development of this field and the active advancement of national supervision. The announcement also stipulates clearly the disclosure requirements for companies that provide public opinion attribute services and online applications, etc., aiming to maintain the stability and harmony of the network environment and promote the healthy development of generative artificial intelligence.
On January 8, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued an announcement on the registration of generative artificial intelligence services, emphasizing the importance of promoting innovative development and standardized applications in this field. In accordance with the requirements of the "Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services", the cybersecurity and informatization department will continue to promote the registration of generative artificial intelligence services.
As of December 31, 2024, a total of 302 generative artificial intelligence services have been registered with the Cyberspace Administration of China, of which 238 newly registered services will be added in 2024. This shows that the field of generative artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and more new services are gradually gaining official recognition. At the same time, for generative artificial intelligence applications or functions that directly call registered model capabilities through API interfaces or other methods, a total of 105 applications or functions will be registered with the local Cyberspace Administration of China in 2024.
The announcement pointed out that companies that provide generative artificial intelligence services with public opinion attributes or social mobilization capabilities can be filed or registered through the local cyberspace department. This measure aims to ensure the compliance and security of related services and maintain the stability and harmony of the network environment.
In addition, already launched generative artificial intelligence applications or functions must disclose the information of the registered or registered generative artificial intelligence services used in a prominent position or on the product details page, including the model name, registration number or online number. This requirement will help promote transparency and let users understand the context and origin of the services they use.
Through this announcement, the Cyberspace Administration of China hopes that while promoting the development of generative artificial intelligence technology, it can effectively standardize its application and ensure its positive role in society.
Highlight:
In 2024, a total of 302 generative artificial intelligence services have been registered with the Cyberspace Administration of China, and 238 new ones have been added.
Enterprises that provide public opinion-based services can register with the local cyberspace department to ensure compliance.
Online applications need to disclose the registered service information used to improve transparency.
This announcement reflects the country’s emphasis on the development and regulation of generative artificial intelligence, which not only encourages innovation but also focuses on risk prevention and control, providing an important guarantee for the healthy development of the artificial intelligence industry. In the future, with the continuous improvement of relevant policies, it is believed that generative artificial intelligence will develop in a more standardized and healthy manner in China.
