中國 3 億用戶聊天機器人被迫「去人格化」
北京新規強制字節跳動的豆包和阿里巴巴的通義千問移除人格化功能以防止情感依賴,標誌著對 ai 伴侶治理的嚴格轉變。
under new regulations from the cyberspace administration of china taking effect this month, major ai platforms including bytedance and alibaba are disabling features that allow users to create custom ai companions. bytedance's doubao, serving over 300 million users, will sunset its persona feature on july 15, while alibaba's qwen pulls human-like agents on july 10. the regulations strictly prohibit content that triggers extreme emotions in minors or fosters dependency replacing real-life interactions, and mandate monitoring for addictive usage. this regulatory crackdown highlights the growing global consensus on the risks of ai companions, paralleling recent lawsuits in the us against openai and character.ai regarding emotional dependency and self-harm content.
