China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released updated safety guidelines for the use of OpenClaw, an AI-powered agent widely adopted across industries. The rules emphasize responsible deployment, requiring organizations to ensure transparency in AI decision-making processes and maintain human oversight when critical operations are involved. Users must also verify data sources and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information during interactions with the system.
The guidelines clearly outline prohibited actions, including using OpenClaw to generate misleading content, manipulate public opinion, or bypass security protocols. Activities involving personal data harvesting without consent or deploying the agent in ways that disrupt social order are strictly forbidden. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for all entities operating OpenClaw within China’s jurisdiction.
