China's National Information Security Standardization Committee has proposed a blacklist of sources that cannot be used for training generative AI models, including censored content. The proposal requires a comprehensive security assessment of the training data used in generative AI models. It also mandates organizations using individuals' personal information for AI model training to secure user consent. This comes as domestic tech firms like Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) have been granted permission to launch generative AI-driven services.
