China's Algorithm Filing Registry and AI Safety Assessments

Entities in China need to provide detailed information about their algorithms, including safety self-assessment reports, to register with the algorithm filing registry. The Cyberspace Administration of China has issued 151 algorithm registry numbers, with 100 for generative AI algorithms, predominantly text generators. Regulations dating back to 2017 have shaped AI safety assessments, highlighting efforts by institutions like Tsinghua University and Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence to evaluate model safety.

Feature Translation: Blue Paper Report on Large Model Governance (2023): From Rules to Practice

Context: Thanks for voting for your favorite picks from last week's Around the Horn issue (ChinAI #245). At this point, I should no longer be surprised when ChinAI readers pick the most technical and “boring” (at least, from a fast-news perspective) option. Still, it's pretty cool that what won out was this blue paper report on the implementation details of China's large language model governance, a joint publication (link to original) by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and the [...]
