    What the 15th Five-Year Informatization Plan Signals for AI and Data Compliance Through 2030

    数据何规 (What Rules for Data) reads the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission's 15th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization, published October 23, 2026, for what it means for AI and data compliance over the next five years. Foundational AI legislation and judicial interpretations on AI and personal information are now formal tasks, though the law's name, form, and timing are not settled. On AI regulation, the plan pairs an unexplained 'optimization' of generative AI filing with a new security risk assessment system for applications in key sectors, and with assessment and filing for AI agents, on-device large models, and anthropomorphic services. The author reads that as a shift from model-level to use-level scrutiny. On data, the author reads cross-border facilitation as clearer boundaries and lower costs for the three existing export routes, not their abolition, and notes that it runs alongside the CAC's special inspections of data export. The plan also singles out personal information testing of smart devices and biometric information management. The author's bottom line: a plan creates no new obligations, but it marks where the next rules will land.
