Beijing launches the "Clear Beijing and Jinghua · AI for Good" special campaign, focusing on rectifying five types of online chaos related to AI.

To further rectify the abuse of AI technology and effectively maintain a clean online environment, promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence technology, the Beijing Cyberspace Administration has launched a one-month special campaign called “Purifying Beijing’s AI for Good.” This campaign focuses on addressing five prominent issues: First, a strict crackdown on the use of AI to generate synthetic pornographic and vulgar content. The focus is on rectifying illegal and irregular information that uses AI to produce, disseminate, and promote pornography, violence, and content harmful to minors, as well as malicious applications that “strip” AI and sell violations of AI “stripping” services. Second, a resolute crackdown on using AI to generate counterfeit infringement information. The focus is on rectifying unauthorized use of AI for face-swapping, voice synthesis, and deepfake technology to impersonate public figures such as athletes, actors, hosts, and entrepreneurs for commercial marketing, advertising, and other illegal activities. Third, a firm investigation into the use of AI to generate false rumor information. The focus is on rectifying the use of AI technology to splice, tamper with, and maliciously fabricate information related to politics, people’s livelihoods, disasters, and emergencies, as well as creating false information through hot topics, maliciously faking scenes, forging official reports, and hype. Fourth, strict regulation of the sale and teaching of behaviors aimed at “removing AI identifiers.” The focus is on rectifying the sale and teaching of tools, software, tutorials, and services that remove, alter, or hide AI identifiers for profit through e-commerce platforms, social media, forums, and cloud groups. Fifth, supervising platforms to strengthen the identification, review, and disposal capabilities of AI-generated synthetic content. Urging website platforms to effectively fulfill their main responsibilities and enhance their technical monitoring, intelligent recognition, traceability checks, and rapid disposal capabilities for AI-generated synthetic content.
