On 13 July 2023, the Cyberspace Administration of China (‘CAC’), along with six other Chinese regulators, jointly issued Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial intelligence Services (‘Interim Measures’) and announced that the Interim Measures will come into effect on 15 August 2023. Overall, the Interim Measures reflect feedback from different stakeholders on the previously released Draft Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services (‘Draft Measures’) which were released on 11 April 2023, as well as focusing on setting out the rights and responsibilities of providers and users of AI, and demonstrating Chinese legislative support of innovation and development of AI.
