Key points included ensuring the «manageability and reliability» of AI, fairness and justice, and the enhancement of ethical literacy.

Two years later, the Cyberspace Administration issued regulations for generative AI algorithms. Alongside requirements for content authenticity and respect for intellectual property, there was a specific note on banning calls to undermine the state.

It is worth remembering that Chinese authorities have previously identified a risk of overheating in the market for humanoid robots.
