Beijing's Yizhuang pilot issues ID to AI virtual humans
According to 36Kr, AI singer Yuri received a commercial digital-performance admission certificate on June 11, 2026 under the regulatory sandbox run by the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Yizhuang), along with an identity credential listing a name, address and facial features. The report says the system binds each virtual persona's registration to the company or team operating it, so liability flows through to the operator rather than granting the avatar independent legal personhood. Operators must prove lawful rights over the character, show stable technical operation and keep a named responsible person available to intervene.
It is an early government attempt to treat AI virtual humans as identifiable commercial entities, and its liability and data-protection choices could shape later regulation.
AI歌手尤里（Yuri）如今身上带着一张专属于她的身份证明。
在档案里，她有登记在案的名字、有申报的住址、有录入系统的面部特征；2026年6月11日，她还在北京经济技术开发区（亦庄）的监管沙盒框架下，拿到了一份面向商业数字演出的准入证书。
这听起来像某种科幻情节，但它确实发生在北京。尤里不是人，真正需要担责的，是背后运营她的公司和团队。而“她不是人”这件事，恰恰是整套制度设计的出发点。
北京正在试点一套制度：为AI生成的虚拟人发放行政身份证件。每一个虚拟形象，都必须与运营它的公司或团队绑定。
据澳大利亚ABC新闻和Cybernews的报道，中国的AI数字人领域据称已有超过130万家活跃企业；不过，这一数字究竟是如何统计出来的，官方和媒体都还没有完整公开其方法论。
