BEIJING, April ‌30 (Reuters) - ​China's ​cyberspace administrator is launching a ‌four-month campaign against "malpractices in AI ⁠applications," according to ‌a statement it released ‌on Thursday.

• The two-phased campaign will target ​weak security review of AI models, "AI ⁠data poisoning" and failure to ​register AI models or inadequate labelling of AI-generated ​content, the ‌statement showed.

• It will also target ⁠misuse of AI-generated content, including false information, "violent ⁠and vulgar" content, impersonation, and content ​that harms minors.

• Authorities will remove illegal and harmful ‌content and punish non-compliant online accounts ‌and platforms, it ⁠said.
