China has released a set of guidelines on labeling internet content that is generated or composed by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which are set to take effect on Sept. 1.
In response, the guidelines regulate the labeling of AI-generated online content throughout its production and dissemination processes, requiring providers to add visible marks to their content in appropriate locations.
My understanding is that this is meant more as a set of legal guidelines... I'm not a legal scholar, but since China has a history of enforcing certain information-related laws I'd assume they can "legally" enforce it
On the technical side... there is a subfield of LLM research that focuses on "watermarking" or ensuring that LLM-generated outputs can be clearly identified, so I guess in theory it might be enforceable
In practice as to whether it will actually be ensured... who knows (facepalm
