China plans to introduce safety regulations covering the entire AI lifecycle
According to Bloomberg, Wang Ruomeng, an official with China’s National Development and Reform Commission, said on Tuesday that China is accelerating AI legislation and will subject AI development and applications to oversight across the entire lifecycle, covering areas such as data and computing power. The standards aim to guard against the risk of increasingly powerful AI systems getting out of control and are considered among the most comprehensive AI safety guidelines to date. The regulations will apply to major developers including DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and Alibaba, which are working to build products that can compete with leading models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
