China Interim Measures for the Management of Generative AI Services

Dates and status re-checked against primary sources on September 30, 2026. How we verify

China's regulation governing generative AI services offered to the public in China, in force since August 15, 2023. Providers must follow content rules, including respect for socialist core values, sign service agreements with users, and protect users' input information and usage records. AI-generated content must be labeled under the separate Measures for Labeling AI-Generated Synthetic Content, in force since September 1, 2025. Services with public opinion properties or the capacity for social mobilization must complete a security assessment and file their algorithms.

What this means for your team

If you offer generative AI services to users in China, get local legal advice before launching. The obligations cover content rules, labeling of AI-generated content, algorithm filing and a security assessment for services with public opinion properties, and protection of user input and usage records. Many of them are hard to square with Western product designs, so some providers choose not to serve China.

Key requirements

  • Security assessment and algorithm filing for services with public opinion properties or the capacity for social mobilization
  • Label AI-generated content (Measures for Labeling AI-Generated Synthetic Content, in force September 1, 2025)
  • Content must align with socialist core values
  • Sign service agreements with registered users
  • Protect user input information and usage records; do not illegally retain records that can identify users
