China's internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), has penalized three digital platforms—CapCut, Maoxiang (Cat Box), and Dreamina AI—for failing to properly label AI-generated or synthesized content. The enforcement action, announced Tuesday, targets violations of multiple laws including the Cybersecurity Law, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services, and the Provisions on the Identification of AI-Generated Synthetic Content. The CAC stated that these platforms breached rules requiring clear identification of AI-produced material, prompting local regulators to take swift corrective measures.
Authorities have imposed regulatory interviews, orders for rectification, formal warnings, and stricter accountability for responsible personnel. A CAC official emphasized that all online platforms must strictly adhere to legal requirements and ensure full compliance with AI content labeling rules, stating there is no room for compromise or circumvention. This action underscores China's aggressive stance on AI governance, as the country continues to tighten oversight of generative AI technologies amid rapid adoption. The penalties signal that even major platforms face consequences for non-compliance with transparency mandates.
