- ByteDance's Doubao and Alibaba's Qwen are disabling custom AI agents as new rules take effect.
- Beijing's Interim Measures for AI Anthropomorphic Interaction Services, effective July 15, restrict services simulating human personality and sustained emotional interaction.
- The rules exclude non-emotional AI tools like customer service bots and educational assistants but aim to mitigate risks like extremist ideas and privacy leaks.
