The regulation published Friday by China\u2019s cyberspace authority said that both providers and users of online video news and audio services are \u201cnot allowed\u201d to use new technologies such as deep learning and virtual reality to create, distribute and broadcast \u201cfake news\u201d. \u201cFake news\u201d has been generalised to mean anything from a mistake to a parody or a deliberate misinterpretation of facts.<\/p>\n<p>The rules come into effect on January 1, 2020. Failure to follow them could be considered a criminal offence, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said, without offering details on punishments.<\/p>\n<p>The rules require videos and audio tracks produced using AI or virtual reality technologies to carry clear labels warning users. The regulations particularly stressed the dangers of \u201cdeepfakes,\u201d or technology that manipulates videos to appear genuine but which depict events or speech that never happened.<\/p>\n<p>Deepfake technologies could \u201cdisrupt social order and violate people\u2019s interests, creating political risks and bringing a negative impact to national security and social stability,\u201d the cyberspace authority warned. Concerns over deepfakes have grown since the 2016 US election campaign which saw wide use of online disinformation, according to US investigations.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s top legislative body said earlier this year it was considering making deepfake technology illegal. A Chinese face-swapping app Zao, which allows users to convincingly superimpose their own likeness over characters in movies or TV shows, led to a heated debate on the abuses of deepfake technologies in September.<\/p>\n<div class=\"common-bottom-text\">\n<p>Get live <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stock Prices<\/a> from BSE and NSE and latest NAV, portfolio of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/mutual-funds-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mutual Funds<\/a>, calculate your tax by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/income-tax-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Income Tax Calculator<\/a>, know market\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/nse-top-gainers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top Gainers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/nse-top-losers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top Losers<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/mutual-funds-india\/equity-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Equity Funds<\/a>.
