China Launches First Generative AI Product Compliance Standard – Drafting Contributors Wanted

Regulatory background : After the 2023 Interim Measures for Generative AI Service Management , the government has issued a series of mandatory rules covering algorithm registration, content labeling, data security, emotional interaction, and tech ethics, shifting from mere rule‑making to active enforcement.

Compliance as a survival question : Three high‑frequency risks now surface – missing registration or labeling leads to immediate takedown, uncontrolled content or data misuse triggers legal liability, and emerging scenarios such as AI agents, emotional interaction, and protection of minors or the elderly create new liability zones.

Consensus on pre‑placement : Safety and compliance must be embedded early in R&D, carried through operation, and closed in iteration, forming the prerequisite for turning generative AI from a technical possibility into a commercial reality.

Standard introduction : The China Chamber of Commerce and Zhihhe Standard Center have authored the Generative AI Product Safety and Compliance Guide , with the Ministry of Public Security’s Third Research Institute and other representative bodies joining as guidance units.

Standard scope : As the nation’s first AI product compliance standard, it defines a full‑lifecycle compliance system—from R&D admission, interactive operation, to service termination—covering network security, data security, content safety, user rights, and protection of specific application forms and vulnerable groups, offering a “full‑link, full‑scenario, full‑toolkit” operational guide.

Three core pathways :

Full‑link : A multi‑entity, end‑to‑end compliance framework that assigns differentiated duties to model providers, service providers, and integrators across every stage.

Full‑scenario : A dynamic, scenario‑based management mechanism addressing high‑risk forms such as generative agents, multimodal interaction, and protection of minors, establishing a closed loop for algorithm filing updates, training data review, and content safety control.

Full‑toolkit : Practical, verifiable tools—including a self‑check checklist, content‑risk classification details, safety‑assessment report guidelines, and compliance‑prompt templates—to enable rapid response to dual security assessments and lower compliance trial‑and‑error costs.

Call for contributors : Organizations and experts who become drafting units or drafters will be listed in the standard’s drafting roster, gain professional credibility, receive official certification, enjoy policy incentives in bidding and qualification applications, and help build a collaborative ecosystem across model providers, AIGC service vendors, solution integrators, data suppliers, legal bodies, and security firms.
