Chinese e-commerce platform Pinduoduo has stepped up efforts to regulate artificial intelligence-related content and services on its platform, as authorities move to strengthen oversight of the rapidly developing AI sector.
The company said on Thursday that it will strictly prohibit sellers from publishing or selling a range of AI-related illegal products and services, including AI-assisted exam prediction services, AI data poisoning tools, AI-managed online accounts, as well as the resale of AI-generated virtual accounts.
It is the second time this month that Pinduoduo has tightened governance over AI-related content.
In mid-May, the platform announced a special campaign targeting the removal of AI-generated content labels, pledging to crack down on tutorials teaching users how to remove AI identifiers and services providing unauthorized "de-labeling" tools.
