The Chinese government has issued new regulations banning the creation of AI-generated content without watermarks or other identifying symbols. This was reported by the Cyberspace Administration of China. new rules adopted to prevent the spread of false, fabricated and potentially harmful information🇧🇷 The Decree comes into force on January 10, 2023.
In the country, this body oversees regulation, supervision, as well as censorship of the Internet. According to the Chinese government, this solution is necessary due to advances in artificial intelligence for the synthesis of text, images, voice and video. Despite regulation, the country also recognizes the importance of artificial intelligence for future economic growth. Under the rules, new AI-powered products will be subject to government safety assessments. AI-generated images and videos must comply with government regulations and can only be played after approval. Furthermore, the government stresses the need to use watermarks to identify that the product in question was created with the help of AI.🇧🇷
The Future of AI in Image and Video Processing
In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies have been developing rapidly. For example, we have the DALL-E tool, which is able to generate images through simple descriptions of any user. Although the results are not very pretty in most cases, DALL-E demonstrates the incredible power of AI in creating images.
With the future of AI in mind, companies like Adobe have already taken a more lenient stance and will allow anyone to commercialize AI-generated art on Adobe Stock – once approved by the platform. As the use of artificial intelligence in the graphic design and video production sectors is expected to increase over the years, China’s actions in the future will be discussed in many countries.
According to the government, it is necessary to guarantee the safety of people and avoid the production, copying, publication and dissemination of illegal and harmful information that endangers the safety of citizens or affects the rights of people. According to a rough translation of The Register, the Chinese government will demand:
AI service providers add signals that do not affect the use of information content created or edited on their services. Services that provide features such as intelligent dialogue, synthesized human voice, human face generation, and immersive realistic scenes that can significantly change content should be prominently marked to avoid confusion or misidentification of the public. No organization or individual is required to use technical means to remove, forge, or conceal the presence of insignia.
As we can see, China has serious concerns about the use of AI to create images and videos. While platforms like Adobe Stock seem to support the idea of creating art with AI, this discussion should also be present in political circles around the world.
