This Friday, China said that the future of artificial intelligence (AI) should be “decided by all countries” and that its rules should not be “dictated by developed countries.”
During a meeting with the media, Gao Lin, director of the Cybersecurity Coordination Office of the Cyberspace Administration of China, said that AI is a “new field of human development” to which China “attaches great importance.”
Gao presented China’s AI development proposals, which focus on “respecting the sovereignty of other countries”, “non-interference in internal affairs” and “ensuring that artificial intelligence is under human control.”
Gao also emphasized the importance of “increasing the role of developing countries in promoting AI.”
Liu Bochao, deputy director of the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Industry, said that managing AI is a “challenge for all countries.”
“China has the world’s largest market for consumer and industrial applications of artificial intelligence,” Liu said, adding that he hopes “China and the United States can cooperate in this area” after the technology was one of the topics discussed between the president China. Xi Jinping and his North American counterpart Joe Biden during a meeting in the North American city of San Francisco this month.
Liu Bochao expressed support for “cooperation between Chinese and American research institutions” and said he “welcomes American companies establishing artificial intelligence research institutes with their Chinese counterparts to accelerate technological innovation.”
Last July, the Asian country approved a temporary regulation to regulate generative artificial intelligence services like ChatGPT, which would be subject to “existing rules on information security, personal data protection, intellectual property and scientific and technological progress.”
AI services must also respect “fundamental socialist values,” “social morality and professional ethics,” and are prohibited from “creating content that jeopardizes national security, territorial unity, social stability, or the rights and interests of legitimate third parties,” according to with Chinese recommendations.
These services must also guarantee “transparency and reliability”, defining as such content created using this type of technology according to the same rules.
“By drawing red lines, we ensure that users can safely use artificial intelligence tools,” said Gao Lin.
Several Chinese tech giants such as Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba have introduced AI-powered services in recent months.
The use of these technologies has raised a number of questions in China due to the strict censorship and restrictions practiced by the Beijing regime.
