BEIJING, April 3 (Xinhua) -- The Cyberspace Administration of China has drafted a set of administrative measures for internet services involving digital humans and began soliciting public opinions on the draft on Friday.
The draft requires that providers of services involving digital humans, which are human-like virtual beings capable of voice chat or other forms of interaction, must continuously display a prominent label reading "digital human" alongside such content.
According to the draft, the use of individuals' sensitive personal information for generating and modeling digital human images must be subject to their informed consent.
It stipulates that no organization or individual may use digital humans with identifiable traits of specific natural persons without their consent.
The draft also prohibits inducing minors to become addicted to digital humans through virtual services that simulate family or intimate relationships, or services that may encourage excessive spending. ■
