China Proposes Consent Requirement For Chat Logs
8.0
China's Cyberspace Administration proposed draft measures Saturday requiring user consent before AI platforms can use chat logs to train models, and obliging providers to inform users, allow access or deletion, and obtain guardians' consent for minors. The measures are open for public consultation with feedback due late January. Analysts say the rules prioritize user safety and could affect how firms collect training data.
Key Points
- 1Require explicit user consent before platforms use chat logs for AI model training, include deletion and access options.
- 2Limit human-feedback data reduces risk of sensitive exposure, aligning with Beijing's safety and public-interest emphasis.
- 3Force providers to obtain guardians' consent for minors, potentially altering data collection and RLHF practices.
Scoring Rationale
High regulatory significance for China's AI ecosystem, but scope limited because the measures are draft and open to consultation.
