Overview
- The Supreme People’s Court’s guidelines bar creating or sharing recognisable AI copies of real people’s faces or voices without consent, covering deepfakes and voice cloning.
- The rules make platforms and AI service providers potentially liable if they do not take timely action after being notified that their systems produced rights‑infringing content.
- The guidance expands legal remedies for victims, including people whose faces were digitally altered to spread false and defamatory sexual claims.
- The court also addresses other AI disputes such as algorithmic price discrimination and AI‑generated false information and sets procedural rules for handling these cases.
- Officials framed the move as balancing fast AI development with risk control and said some contested issues will be left for future clarification as experience and consensus grow.
