Panel 5: Data Regulation & Compliance
In 2021, China took a significant step in strengthening its data protection by adopting the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), often referred to as China’s GDPR. This law imposes stringent obligations on Chinese online platforms to protect personal data and ensure privacy. Concurrently, the nation’s Cyberspace Administration (CAC) has been proactive in addressing the challenges posed by disruptive technologies, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence, by introducing a series of new regulations. What are the primary challenges faced by Chinese companies in complying with the PIPL? How are Chinese firms navigating the demanding requirements of consumer consent and data transfer under the new law? What approaches can we expect from Chinese authorities in regulating generative AI technologies? How will the trajectory of Chinese data regulation evolve in the coming years?

單元五:數據監管與合規
2021年,中國頒布了《個人信息保護法》,這一法律常被譽為中國版GDPR,為加強數據保護邁出了關鍵一步。 個保法明確了中國互聯網平台在個人信息和隱私保護方面所承擔的嚴格義務。 同時,為應對人工智慧等顛覆性技術帶來的挑戰,中國網信辦推出了一系列新法規。 中國企業在個保法合規方面遇到了哪些困難? 它們是如何遵守消費者同意以及數據傳輸的嚴格要求? 中國當局可能採取哪些措施來監管人工智慧技術? 在未來幾年,中國數據監管可能呈現何種發展趨勢?
