China: Cyberspace Administration issued filing information for generative AI services (January to February 2026)

On 17 March 2026, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) announced that 48 new generative artificial intelligence (AI) services and 46 AI applications or functions completed their respective filing and registration procedures between January and February 2026. These administrative actions were conducted in accordance with the Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services to promote the regulated application of AI technologies. The Measures require providers of generative AI services with social mobilisation capabilities or public opinion attributes to complete these procedures through local cyberspace authorities. As of 28 February 2026, a cumulative total of 796 generative AI services have completed the filing process, while 481 applications or functions have finished registration. For applications that utilise the capabilities of previously filed models via Application Programming Interface (API) interfaces, registration is managed by local offices rather than the national body. The Measures mandate that generative AI products that are already live prominently display their model name and filing or registration number in a conspicuous location or on the product details page. The CAC and relevant departments continue to oversee this registration work to ensure that all generative AI services operating within the jurisdiction adhere to the established transparency and notification requirements.
