China's ​cyberspace administrator has ordered ​ByteDance's video ‌editing apps Jianying ​and Maoxiang, and website Jimeng AI, to comply ‌with rules on labelling AI-generated content, the Cyberspace Administration of China said in a statement on ‌Tuesday. * The three platforms did not ‌effectively implement required AI content identification measures and have violated the country's cybersecurity law and relevant rules, the ⁠regulator said.

* ​Authorities ⁠summoned, ordered rectification, warned, and penalised those responsible, the ⁠statement said, without giving details. * Platforms must strictly ​observe legal requirements on AI-content labelling, it said, ⁠adding that regulators will continue to strengthen oversight to "concretely ⁠protect ​the public interest and support the healthy and orderly development of AI".

* China ⁠in March 2025 issued requirements for the labelling of ⁠AI-generated ⁠content, which went into effect in September.
