🥟 Chao-Down #127 China finalizes official rules for generative AI, The founder tussle happening at Stability AI, Meta set to release commercial friendly AI

Chinese regulators have finalized their regulations for generative artificial intelligence, to enhance oversight of the rapidly expanding technology.

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), in collaboration with other regulatory bodies, has formulated new rules, set to be effective from August 15.

The rules apply to generative AI services available to the general public and require providers to obtain licenses, address illegal content, improve algorithms, report material to authorities, conduct security assessments, and align with socialist core values.

China, known for its strict internet control, is closely monitoring AI advancements due to worries about content contradicting the government's views. Although Chinese tech giants have been cautious in launching ChatGPT-like services, the CAC's regulations offer a framework for companies operating in this field.

The aim is to strike a balance between China's AI leadership ambitions and vigilant oversight, encouraging innovation and supporting related infrastructure development.

How will these rules play out for China? We’ll have to see to find out.
