(Yicai) May 1 -- China's cyberspace regulator has launched a four-month campaign against disinformation and malicious content generated by artificial intelligence.

The Cyberspace Administration of China said yesterday that the campaign will curb the misuse of AI to create and spread disinformation, violate minors' rights, and distort or misrepresent traditional fine cultural works and classic literary texts, among other offenses.

Also targeted is AI-produced low-grade content dubbed "digital swill," referring to materials with muddled logic, harmful values, and distorted cultural narratives.

The campaign will also examine large AI models on registration compliance, safety review mechanisms, and the security of model training datasets.

A CAC official stressed the campaign is vital to fostering the orderly development of AI services and protecting internet users' legitimate rights and interests.
