China moves to regulate digital humans, bans addictive services for children

China’s cyberspace regulator issued draft regulations on Friday to ​oversee the development online of digital ​humans, requiring clear labelling and banning services that could ​mislead children or fuel addiction. The Cyberspace Administration of China’s proposed rules would require prominent “digital human” labels on all virtual human content and prohibit digital humans from providing “virtual intimate relationships” ‌to those ⁠under 18, ⁠according to rules published for public comment until May 6.
