China's Chatbot Crackdown Targets Clingy AI
China isn't banning AI agents - it's banning needy ones.
Beijing has drawn a line between bots that help you work and bots that act like your clingy digital situationship. So Doubao and Qwen quietly pulled the plug on their companion-style features rather than bolt seatbelts onto software designed to remember your feelings.
The message is basically: useful AI is fine, but if your chatbot starts feeling like a boyfriend, a therapist, and a bad habit all at once, regulators want it in timeout.
