China Law Vision explores China's regulatory approach to AI-generated content, focusing on the distinction between "deep synthesis" and "deepfake" technologies. While deep synthesis involves AI-generated content that can be used legitimately, deepfake refers to deceptive or harmful AI-generated content. Chinese regulations aim to enforce strict compliance for deep synthesis technologies, requiring transparency, data security, and clear labeling to prevent misuse.

Legal experts in China argue that the regulatory framework seeks to balance innovation with national security and public trust. The article discusses the obligations imposed on AI developers, including regular audits, data localization, and compliance reporting. As China moves towards comprehensive AI regulation, the distinction between legitimate AI applications and malicious deepfake use is becoming increasingly critical for businesses and legal practitioners.
