China will ban AI chatbots from encouraging violence, self-harm, obscenity, gambling. AI companies violating the rules will be punished

Wow, basic safeguards and guidelines for AI? China doing what the US refuses to.

Those companies can't even stop their stuff from using em-dashes, so I unironically wish them good luck, they'll need it

That means US companies will have to give up on the Chinese ai market.

More a move to extend totalitarian surveillance to new technology, though. I think it's just mildly about AI in specific. I mean the Chinese government also regulates information and how much people are allowed to play online games. And since they're at the forefront of AI, they regulate these kinds of things in a timely manner. I mean they (and other governments) want AI. But they also want it to be in line with their goals. And I suppose that's the main motivation behind this. Interestingly enough the US government does the opposite of this. They remove regulation. But there's also a reason why they do that.

I'm sure this will be successful
