On September 17, the Information Office of the State Council hosted a press conference centered around the theme of "Initial Progress in the 15th Five-Year Plan". During the event, it was announced that the number of short micro-drama users nationwide has surpassed 800 million, with projections indicating that the market size will exceed 100 billion yuan by 2025. Notably, AI-generated dramas are experiencing rapid growth and constitute a significant portion of this market. Relevant authorities are committed to fostering innovation while upholding fundamental principles, mandating that AI-generated dramas clearly label their content. They are also urging platforms to strictly adhere to the guidelines for portrait and voice authorization, ensuring comprehensive oversight throughout the production process. Ultimately, AI serves merely as a tool, with humans remaining the primary creators. As the development of AI-generated dramas accelerates, so too must the rigor of content regulation.
