“China has launched a month-long campaign to crack down on artificial intelligence (AI)-altered videos that ‘distort, parody or vulgarise’ classic Chinese films, television dramas and animated works.”
“Spoof clips that ‘misappropriate and distort Chinese culture’ will be taken down, NRTA said in a statement shared on WeChat on Dec 31.”
“Targets include AI-generated videos based on popular Chinese works like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms – as well as portrayals of ‘exemplary Chinese heroes and figures’.”
” ‘The campaign will also clean up various forms of violent or obscene animated content that adapt characters well-known and loved by children,’ NRTA said, adding that videos which distort perceptions of Chinese history and culture will also be removed, as it could ‘impact cultural identity’.”
