Beijing set to tap AI potential, reduce risks

China Daily  

Jin Ding/China Daily The ongoing 2024 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, themed "Embracing a People-Centered and AI-for-Good Digital Future — Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace", highlights the importance of artificial intelligence in today's world. China realized this fact early, and issued the "Governance Principles for the New Generation Artificial Intelligence — Developing Responsible Artificial Intelligence" in 2019, which emphasizes AI's role in advancing human welfare and safeguarding against risks. The subsequent release of the "Ethical Norms for the New Generation of Artificial Intelligence "by China in 2021 further highlighted the necessity of balancing technological innovation with ethical considerations in the development of AI. While China boasts a large AI talent pool and has taken big strides in AI education, particularly the release of the "Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" in 2017, it still faces a shortage of high-end AI professionals. At the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in 2023, China introduced a resolution to enhance global cooperation on AI capacity building, in a bid to help developing countries boost their AI capability, promote development for all and narrow the "AI divide".
