•Mandates that AI-generated content must adhere to 'core socialist values' and prohibits content that undermines state authority or social stability.
•Providers must implement content labeling for AI-generated material and take responsibility for training data legality and accuracy.
•Users must provide real-name verification, and providers must protect user data and respond to complaints within defined timeframes.
•Applies to both domestic providers and foreign services offered within China, with extraterritorial reach implications for global AI companies.
