The CAC, NDRC, and MIIT jointly issued Implementation Opinions requiring mandatory filing, compliance testing, and product-recall provisions for AI agents in sensitive sectors: healthcare, transportation, media, public safety (Rimon Law). A parallel measure bans providers from offering minors "virtual intimate relationships" and mandates parental controls, risk alerts, content labeling, and spending limits. It's one of the world's most concrete regulatory lines yet around AI companions and agent deployment. Product-recall provisions for agents is a notably physical-goods framing. It treats a misbehaving agent like a defective appliance.
