NRTA Reiterates Support for Live-Action Micro-Dramas and Regulation of AI-Generated Dramas
On November 5, a relevant official from the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) reiterated that the micro-drama sector should support live-action dramas while regulating AI-generated ones. The official also called on platforms to implement a policy of "mandatory review for all content, with full human oversight," optimize their algorithms, and continue cracking down on infringements such as AI-driven content plagiarism, pirated remakes, and the unauthorized use of likenesses and voices.
The official stated that AI should assist in creating high-quality content, with live-action production remaining the mainstay of micro-dramas. Regulating AI-generated dramas requires upholding the bottom lines of copyright and ethics. According to data released by the NRTA, 430,000 micro-dramas were launched in the first eight months of this year, with AI-generated dramas accounting for over 90% of the total.
