China — Artificial Intelligence Safety Governance Framework 3.0

Published14 September 2026Added 9 November 2026

Issued by National Technical Committee 260 on Cybersecurity Standardization of China (TC260).

Summary

China’s Artificial Intelligence Safety Governance Framework 3.0 updates the national reference framework first issued in 2024. Prepared by TC260 under the guidance of the Cyberspace Administration of China, it retains the organising logic of risk classification, technical response and comprehensive governance while revising the risk taxonomy and governance measures for newer AI developments. The framework is not legislation, but it is a significant statement of China’s evolving approach to AI safety, risk prevention and controllability.

Why it matters

Updated AI risk classification; revised technical responses; comprehensive governance mechanisms; emphasis on human-centred development, safety, controllability, consensus-building and risk prevention.
