China's internet regulator launches one filing system for generative AI, algorithms and deep synthesis

The Cyberspace Administration says the system went live on 9 November and replaces the separate algorithm and blockchain filing systems; filings are searchable by company and filing number.
Why it matters
China requires generative AI services and recommendation algorithms to be filed with the Cyberspace Administration before they reach the public, and until now that ran through separate systems. Folding generative AI, algorithms, deep synthesis and blockchain into one searchable register makes the regime easier to use and to audit, and the public lookup by company and filing number adds transparency. It does not change what must be filed. Watch for updated filing counts and any new rules issued alongside the system.
