It requires AI agents to undergo security assessments before they are put into use, complete security hardening prior to deployment, operate under strict permission controls throughout their lifecycle, and ensure that all data is securely erased when they are decommissioned.<\/p>\n<p>Across every stage of this lifecycle, the guidelines repeatedly emphasize six practical security requirements: ensuring the integrity and trustworthiness of software and model sources; enforcing the principle of least privilege; minimizing network exposure; maintaining comprehensive audit logs of agent activities; implementing controls over high-risk operations; and applying enhanced safeguards to sensitive data and long-term memory.<\/p>\n<p>The guidance suggests that China no longer regards AI agents merely as lightweight application-layer components built on top of large language models. Instead, regulators increasingly view them as integrated systems that combine memory, tool use, autonomous decision-making, and operational privileges\u2014systems that introduce an entirely new category of security risks requiring dedicated governance.<\/p>\n<p><span>Separately, the Cyberspace Administration of China, together with four other government agencies, has issued the <\/span>Interim Measures for the Administration of Anthropomorphic AI Interaction Services<span>, which will take effect on <\/span><strong>15 July 2026<\/strong><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In early July, both Doubao and Tongyi Qianwen notified users that certain AI agent features would be discontinued during the same period. According to multiple media reports, these adjustments form part of a broader compliance campaign aimed at bringing anthropomorphic AI services and user-created AI agents into line with the new regulatory framework.
