China Enacts World's Strictest Law on Anthropomorphic AI, Analysts Say
gerardsans · x · 2026-09-17
- According to analyst Luiza Jarovsky, China has officially enacted its new law on anthropomorphic AI, reportedly the world's strictest on the topic: unprecedented detail, strictness, and attention to context-specific vulnerabilities, with the approved version broader than January's draft, adding liability-related risks.
- Article 10, for example, requires providers of anthropomorphic AI to fulfill security responsibilities across the entire service lifecycle.
- The retweeting author adds a take: headlines claiming models "think" or "care" are red flags — LLMs have no self, psychology, or goals, and such sensationalism fuels AI fatigue.
