Chinese regulator drafts rules to protect teenagers from 'intimate' AI companions
On the definition of "virtual intimate relationships" in the Cyberspace Administration of China's draft rules on safeguarding minors' safe and healthy use of the internet, He Qianggao was interviewed by the South China Morning Post and provided a legal analysis of where the regulatory line should fall.
The key question in defining a "virtual intimate relationship" is whether a service is designed to simulate or substitute for real family members, partners or friends, rather than whether it is used for companionship, character settings and emotional guidance.— He Qianggao, a lawyer and director at Geason Law Offices
Countdown to Disconnection for AI Emotional Companionship Products
On the entry into force of China's Interim Measures for the Administration of Anthropomorphic Interactive AI Services, He Qianggao was interviewed and provided a legal analysis of the compliance paths available to AI companionship products.
General-purpose generative AI and anthropomorphic interactive AI are subject to different regulatory logics. If a product carries role-play, emotional companionship or virtual-partner features, it falls squarely within the Interim Measures and requires a separate compliance path. The separation of Doubao and Maoxiang offers companies a workable compliance model.— He Qianggao (translated from Chinese)
