Binding law — in force
AI-content labels must follow the methods of mandatory national standard GB 45438-2025 (China)
The Labeling Measures require labelling by generation and synthesis service providers and by content distribution platforms to also meet mandatory national standards (Art. 11). GB 45438-2025, Cybersecurity technology - Labeling method for content generated by artificial intelligence, is that standard: issued by SAMR and SAC on 2025-02-28 and in force since 2025-09-01, it sets the methods for explicit labels (text, sound, graphics and similar forms users can perceive) and implicit labels (information embedded in the file metadata) for providers of generation and synthesis services and of content distribution services. TwinEthos cites the standard as a whole and does not reproduce it; which forms, positions and metadata fields it fixes for each content type is to be read in the standard itself (counsel flag). Detect a labelling implementation with no record of conformance to the standard's explicit and implicit label methods.
