DeepSeek Urges Transparency in China’s AI Oversight as Regulatory Framework Expands
China's AI regulatory framework faces growing pains as adoption accelerates. DeepSeek researchers highlight systemic opacity in pre-deployment filings—3,739 tools registered by April 2025, yet rejection criteria remain undisclosed. The current system prioritizes speed over transparency, with 250-300 new entries monthly.
Exemptions for open-source models create potential loopholes. While China avoids heavy-handed bans, the lack of a comprehensive AI law leaves accountability gaps. Proposed liability rules for AI misuse remain theoretical as the Cyberspace Administration struggles to balance innovation with oversight.
