China: National Cybersecurity Standardisation Technical Committee closes consultation on Cybersecurity Standard Practice Guide — User Security Guidelines for Using Artificial Intelligence Services

On 27 January 2026, the National Cybersecurity Standardisation Technical Committee closes the public consultation on Cybersecurity Standard Practice Guide — User Security Guidelines for Using Artificial Intelligence Services (Consultation Draft v1.0-202601). The consultation concerns a draft standard practice guide issued by the Secretariat of the National Cybersecurity Standardisation Technical Committee. The draft provides security guidance for users of artificial intelligence services and addresses user security awareness, safe use guidance, and user behaviour norms. The Guide instructs users recognise the limitations of artificial intelligence, for example in relation to hallucinations, avoid blindly accepting and trusting results, and recognise that interactions with artificial intelligence services may be linked to risks of privacy breaches. Further, the Guide advises users to take safety measures, such as reviewing user agreements and privacy policies, pay attention to whether their data could be used as training data, avoid disclosing sensitive personal information, paying attention to access permission requests, and verify output generated by artificial intelligence services. Further, users should avoid maliciously sending large requests to exhaust service resources, ensure that output is watermarked, report problematic content, and avoid generating unethical content.
