Deep-synthesis service providers must apply a technical measure to label content generated or edited using their service without interfering with normal use, and retain log information as required. Where a listed category of service could cause public confusion, simulated dialogue or writing, synthesized or altered voice, face generation or face-swap, or immersive simulated-scene generation, the provider must apply a prominent label alerting the public to the deep-synthesis nature of the content. This is the earliest of China's four labeling instruments and is the one the 2023 Generative AI Interim Measures cross-references.
