China's Cyberspace Regulator Cracks Down on AI Impersonation of Public Figures
China's cyberspace regulator said on November 8 it had cracked down on the use of AI to impersonate public figures, removing more than 47,000 pieces of violating information and handling 3,961 accounts, Xinhua reported. The campaign targets deepfake-style content that mimics celebrities, officials and other public personalities to spread misinformation or misleading endorsements. Authorities urged platforms to strengthen identity verification and content labeling for AI-generated material. The action is part of broader efforts to govern synthetic media as generative AI tools proliferate, balancing support for innovation with controls against fraud, reputational harm and manipulated public discourse, and reinforces requirements that AI-generated content be identifiable.
