Abstract: Open-source artificial intelligence (AI) systems from China are gaining momentum worldwide. In parallel to these technical advances, China's AI regulation is also taking shape. But as this AI regulatory landscape is constantly evolving, already complicated, and awaiting more certainty, clarification, harmonization, and simplification are becoming more important than ever. An AI law that consolidates and improves existing laws, policies, and cases has the potential to be a solution. Although no official draft of such a law has been released in China yet, AI law experts in China have drafted two influential proposals, Model AI Law (v 3.0, with an article-by-article interpretation) and AI Law (Scholar's Proposal), that have become important references for understanding and researching China's AI regulation (1). We outline the current landscape, discuss both proposals, identify points for improvements of China's AI regulation, and conclude with an outlook on the regulatory future and global implications.
