This includes text, images, audio, video, and virtual scenes. Platforms must show visible labels and embed metadata that proves the content is machine-made.
The rule applies to all platforms operating in China, whether domestic or foreign. That includes chatbots, AI image generators, and video creation tools.
If users try to generate content without labels, they will see a warning message. Their request and identity will also be logged by the platform.
The goal is transparency and safety. Chinese regulators say the public needs to know what’s real and what’s not. With AI growing fast, these controls aim to stop fake news, impersonation, and misuse.

Some users and experts are worried about privacy and overreach. Others say the rule may be hard to enforce once content spreads outside China.
Still, many agree that labeling is a good first step. It helps users trust what they see online. It also encourages AI companies to act responsibly.
China is one of the first countries to implement such broad AI content rules. The move could influence other governments to do the same.
If you’re building or using AI content tools, it’s time to prepare. The China AI content labeling law is real, and it starts soon.
