-- The book argues that China built the first national AI ecosystem in which regulation, commercial capability, and distribution developed together rather than in opposition. It traces how filing requirements, security reviews, and content rules shaped which AI products reached the market and how they were deployed.

The publication includes references to regulatory and administrative processes related to artificial intelligence services, including filing procedures, cybersecurity review requirements, content safety assessment procedures, and data governance requirements that are part of the approval and compliance process for certain AI systems.
It also includes information on regulatory documentation and procedural requirements that may apply to generative artificial intelligence services, including registration and approval steps used in certain deployment contexts.
Governance and Administrative Processes
The book contains sections that describe administrative processes related to artificial intelligence services in China. These include procedures connected to the release of artificial intelligence applications and systems, as well as compliance requirements associated with their operation.
It includes references to regulatory review processes such as cybersecurity assessments, content moderation requirements, and data handling procedures that may be applicable to artificial intelligence systems in specific operational contexts.
The publication also includes information on filing procedures associated with generative artificial intelligence services that have been recorded under regulatory frameworks introduced in recent years.
The book cites official disclosures from the Cyberspace Administration of China showing that 346 of more than 439 generative AI services completed registration under the country's filing system. China's Interim Measures for generative AI took effect on August 15, 2023.
Industry Context Examples
The book includes references to organizations operating within China’s artificial intelligence sector. These references include examples of companies involved in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence systems across consumer and enterprise applications.
It examines Baidu, China's largest search company, and its AI systems, including the Ernie family of large language models and the Ernie Bot consumer assistant, which launched publicly on August 31, 2023.
The book also covers newer entrants, including DeepSeek, a Hangzhou-based AI developer, as an example of how model development and deployment interact with China's regulatory environment.
These examples are included alongside descriptions of regulatory and administrative structures relevant to artificial intelligence systems.
Deployment and International Context
The book includes information on deployment of artificial intelligence systems across different regions, including parts of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
It provides descriptions of how artificial intelligence systems are made available in different jurisdictions and includes references to variations in regulatory environments across markets.
It also includes information on cross-border availability of artificial intelligence services and deployment considerations in multiple regions.
