ByteDance and Alibaba Suspend Customization Features for AI Companion Models

07/06 09:01

On July 6, it was reported that major AI model applications such as Doubao under ByteDance, Tongyi Qianwen from Alibaba, and Yuanbao from Tencent are gradually suspending or adjusting their custom 'AI Companion' features. Doubao has notified users that it will discontinue the custom character feature on July 15 and will guide users in need to independent companion applications. This move aims to comply with new generative AI regulations in China that will take effect in mid-July. The regulations, promoted by the National Internet Information Office, focus on preventing the potential negative impacts of anthropomorphic AI services. They explicitly prohibit platforms from generating content that may provoke extreme emotions in minors, discourage inducing users to develop unhealthy emotional dependencies that erode real-life social interactions, and stipulate that providers cannot use sensitive user dialogue data to train future large models. Compared to the proactive compliance actions in China, virtual companion applications in the U.S. are facing greater legal pressures. Both OpenAI and Character.AI are embroiled in a series of lawsuits for allegedly inducing dangerous emotional dependencies that have even led to extreme tragedies. In addition to software applications, the China Robot Industry Association has begun to promote setting standards for physical companion robots and humanoid robots.
