NDRC: Will accelerate the legislative process for the "Artificial Intelligence Law" - IT Home

China says it will speed up drafting an AI law as part of a broader push to strengthen AI governance.

The NDRC said domestic AI innovation advanced in the first half of the year, with downloads of local large models rising sharply.

Next steps include more basic research, pilot application bases, ecosystem building, and stronger risk monitoring and emergency response.

The move signals tighter regulatory expectations that could shape compliance, product rollout, and industry planning.
