The “white list” released by the Cyber Administration of China (CAC) on Tuesday names the owners of 41 algorithms – including technology giants Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba, which owns the South China Morning Post.

The algorithms were filed in compliance with the Administrative Provisions on Deep Synthesis for Internet Information Service, which came into effect on January 10, reports South China Morning Post.

The regulation covers deep synthesis service providers that can influence public opinion or society, the newspaper reported.

Deep synthesis is commonly known as “deep fake” – a combination of “deep learning” and “fake”. It is defined by the Chinese regulator as the use of technologies – including deep learning and augmented reality – to generate text, images, audio and video and to create virtual scenes.

The CAC urged deep synthesis service providers to register as soon as possible.
