AI must be harnessed to serve the greater good: China Daily editorial
The four-day 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance opened in Shanghai on Thursday. Reflecting the dual intentions of the event — to establish an open, inclusive, and equitable international platform for exchange and cooperation, and to facilitate comprehensive discussions on AI development, security, and governance issues across various sectors and stakeholders — the theme of the conference is "Governing AI for Good and for All". At the same time, he warned that AI represents a "common challenge" that calls for countries to conduct in-depth discussions to build consensus on an international governance mechanism. Calls for strengthened global AI governance have been rising since Shanghai hosted the first WAIC in 2018, as the rapid development of AI and its growing ubiquity in daily life have heightened concerns about the challenges and inherent risks associated with the technology, which, while having great capacity to serve the greater good, has the potential to cause great harm.
