The Wall Street Journal reports the Cyberspace Administration of China will begin enforcing its regulation over "deep synthesis" technologies Jan. 10. It's the first known legislation to comprehensively regulate artificial intelligence-powered image, audio and text-generation software that produces deepfakes. The regulation requires conspicuous labels for synthetically generated or edited images, videos or text that may be perceived as real or genuine. "China is learning with the world as to the potential impacts of these things, but it’s moving forward with mandatory rules and enforcement more quickly," Stanford University DigiChina Project Editor-in-Chief Graham Webster said.
