On December 5, just three days after its launch, Doubao Mobile Assistant issued the "Clarification on Adjusting AI's Phone - Operating Capabilities." It announced that it would make standardized modifications to the AI's phone - operating capabilities in specific scenarios. These modifications encompass:

• Restricting automatic operations aimed at boosting scores and earning incentives within apps.
• Further tightening the use of AI - operated surrogates for financial apps, such as those related to banking and online payments.
• Suspending the application of AI in certain gaming scenarios that involve competitive rankings.

Doubao Mobile Assistant stressed that it would actively engage in communication with all relevant stakeholders to drive the establishment of clear and foreseeable rules. This is to prevent a blanket - ban approach that might unjustly deprive users of their legitimate rights to use AI.

Previously, numerous users reported encountering login restrictions when utilizing the "phone - operating function" to interact with certain third - party products. In response, Doubao Mobile Assistant clarified that the AI - powered operation of phones necessitates explicit user authorization. Users have the freedom to halt the task at any point during its execution. Moreover, when operating third - party apps that demand sensitive authorizations, users are required to manually confirm the action a second time.
