2025. These measures outline that the identification of AI-generated synthetic contents comprises explicit and implicit identifications. Explicit identifications are those added to the synthetic contents or interactive interfaces, presented in forms such as text, sound, or graphics, and are clearly perceptible to users. Implicit identifications, on the other hand, are added to the file data of synthetic contents through technical means and are not easily detected by users. When the services provided by service providers involve intelligent dialogue, writing, voice synthesis, face generation, immersive scene creation, or other deep synthesis services that generate or significantly alter information content in a way that may cause public confusion or misidentification, explicit identifications must be incorporated into the synthetic contents. Service providers are also required to embed implicit identifications within the metadata of synthetic content documents, which should include details such as the attributes of the synthetic contents, the name or code of the service provider, content serial numbers, and other production-related information. Additionally, service providers are encouraged to utilize forms like digital watermarks to embed implicit identifications into the synthetic contents.
