Cyberspace Administration of China mandates tagging of AI-generated and fictional short videos

The Cyberspace Administration of China has rolled out a comprehensive plan to standardize short video content labeling, mandating that platforms offer six required tags—including "AI-generated content"—ushering in a new era of mandatory transparency for short video governance.
To address issues like unclear content sources and difficulty distinguishing fact from fiction, regulators—building on earlier pilot programs with major platforms such as Douyin, Kuaishou, Tencent, and Baidu—have now made content labeling a mandatory step in the short video publishing process. Publishers must select one of six options: "fictional dramatization," "AI-generated," "contains marketing info," "reprint," "personal opinion," or "no label needed"; without a selection, publishing cannot proceed.
This policy not only tightens review of newly uploaded content but also requires platforms to retroactively label existing short videos in batches, ensuring full compliance. Since January, authorities have investigated over 520,000 fabricated videos and 68,000 violating accounts. With generative AI blurring the line between real and fake content, regulatory intervention seeks to restore a healthy, orderly, and trustworthy content ecosystem.
By shifting the labeling requirement to the front of the publishing process, the industry has improved the efficiency of combating misinformation and set clear boundaries for AI-generated content distribution. This move signals that short video platforms will face greater accountability, ensuring users' right to know through a mix of automated checks and manual reviews, and steering the industry away from traffic-chasing toward content compliance.
