China will enforce clear flagging of all AI generated content starting from September (www.tomshardware.com)

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) national internet censor just announced that all AI-generated content will be required to have labels that are explicitly seen or heard by its audience and embedded in metadata. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) just released the transcript for the media questions and answers (akin to an FAQ) on its Measures for the Identification of Artificial Intelligence Generated and Synthetic Content [machine translated]. We saw the first signs of this policy move last September when the CAC’s draft plans emerged.

This regulation takes effect on September 1, 2025, and will compel all service providers (i.e., AI LLMs) to “add explicit labels to generated and synthesized content.” The directive includes all types of data: text, images, videos, audio, and even virtual scenes. Aside from that, it also orders app stores to verify whether the apps they host follow the regulations.

Users will still be able to ask for unlabeled AI-generated content for “social concerns and industrial needs.” However, the generating app must reiterate this requirement to the user and also log the information to make it easier to trace. The responsibility of adding the AI-generated label and metadata falls on the shoulders of this end-user person or entity.

It's impossible because the text these LLM-based models produce would be obtuse to watermark.

Huh?

What about photos and video and audio?! Why are you asking?

What about photos, videos and audio? You should see what the second L means in the LLM before you go at it

The directive includes all types of data: text, images, videos, audio, and even virtual scenes.

LLMs are only one aspect of this, but yeah, probably the most difficult to discern, at least at the moment.
