Regulatory stack (plain language)

AI products sit under multiple layers—not one “AI Act” only

  • Generative AI / deep synthesis rules — content safety, labelling, user notices, security measures for providers and some users of synthesis tech.
  • Algorithm recommendation / filing themes — internet information service algorithms with public opinion or social mobilisation attributes.
  • Cyber & data — CSL, DSL, PIPL for training data, logs, and personal information (PIPL guide).
  • Sector licences — finance, healthcare, autonomous driving, and other verticals add product rules.
  • Trade controls — chips, tools, and dual-use tech for cross-border R&D and supply (US export controls orientation).
