Last week China’s cybersecurity regulator proposed new rules that limit the impact of AI on people. The proposed rules cover AI chatbots, among other things. Here is a short list of the key changes:

  • AI labelling: Users must be clearly told that they are talking to a machine, not a person. 🤖
  • Protecting mental health: AI must recognise a person’s emotional state. If it detects a crisis (for example a statement about suicide), a human must take over the conversation. 🧠
  • Protecting children: A minor mode, time limits and a guardian’s consent for a “digital companion”. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
  • Protecting seniors: AI may not imitate relatives for older people. 👴
  • Digital detox: A reminder to take a break after every two hours of talking to AI. ⏰
  • Data protection and privacy: Providers may not train models on private conversations without consent. 🔒
  • Audits: Providers must audit their algorithms and security.
