China Netcom released the " Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative " today. The specific contents are as follows:
Artificial intelligence is a new field of human development. Currently, the rapid development of global artificial intelligence technology has a profound impact on economic and social development and the progress of human civilization, and brings huge opportunities to the world. At the same time, artificial intelligence technology also brings unpredictable risks and complex challenges. Artificial intelligence governance is related to the destiny of all mankind and is a common issue faced by all countries in the world.
In the context of world peace and development facing multiple challenges, countries should uphold a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept, adhere to the principle of equal emphasis on development and security, build consensus through dialogue and cooperation, and build open, fair and effective governance mechanism to promote artificial intelligence technology to benefit mankind and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
We reiterate that all countries should strengthen information exchange and technical cooperation in artificial intelligence governance, jointly prevent risks, form an artificial intelligence governance framework and standards with broad consensus, and continuously improve the safety, reliability, and controllability of artificial intelligence technology. sex, fairness. We welcome governments, international organizations, enterprises, scientific research institutions, non-governmental organizations and individual citizens to uphold the concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits and work together to promote artificial intelligence governance.
To this end, we propose:
——The development of artificial intelligence should adhere to the "people-oriented" concept, aim to enhance the common welfare of mankind, ensure social security and respect human rights and interests as the premise, and ensure that artificial intelligence always develops in a direction conducive to the progress of human civilization. Actively support the use of artificial intelligence to assist sustainable development and respond to global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity protection.
——When providing artificial intelligence products and services to other countries, we should respect the sovereignty of other countries, strictly abide by the laws of other countries, and accept the jurisdiction of other countries’ laws. Oppose the use of the advantages of artificial intelligence technology to manipulate public opinion, spread false information, interfere in other countries' internal affairs, social systems and social order, and endanger the sovereignty of other countries.
——The development of artificial intelligence should adhere to the purpose of "intelligent good", abide by applicable international laws, conform to the common values of all mankind of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom, and jointly prevent and combat terrorism, extremist forces and transnational organizations. The misuse of artificial intelligence technology by organized crime groups. Countries, especially major powers, should adopt a prudent and responsible attitude towards the development and use of artificial intelligence technology in the military field.
——The development of artificial intelligence should adhere to the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. All countries, regardless of their size, strength or social system, have equal rights to develop and utilize artificial intelligence. Encourage the world to jointly promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence, share artificial intelligence knowledge and achievements, and open source artificial intelligence technology. Oppose drawing ideological lines or building exclusive groups to maliciously obstruct the development of artificial intelligence in other countries. Oppose the use of technology monopoly and unilateral coercive measures to create barriers to development and maliciously block the global artificial intelligence supply chain.
——Promote the establishment of a risk level testing and evaluation system, implement agile governance, classified and hierarchical management, and respond quickly and effectively. R&D entities continue to improve the interpretability and predictability of artificial intelligence, improve the authenticity and accuracy of data, ensure that artificial intelligence is always under human control, and create artificial intelligence technology that is auditable, supervised, traceable, and trustworthy.
——Gradually establish and improve laws and regulations to ensure personal privacy and data security in the research and development and application of artificial intelligence, and oppose theft, tampering, leakage and other illegal collection and use of personal information.
——Adhere to the principles of fairness and non-discrimination and avoid prejudice and discrimination against different or specific ethnic groups, beliefs, countries, genders, etc. in the process of data acquisition, algorithm design, technology development, product development and application.
——Adhere to ethics first, establish and improve artificial intelligence ethical principles, norms and accountability mechanisms, form artificial intelligence ethical guidelines, establish a scientific and technological ethics review and supervision system, clarify the responsibilities and power boundaries of artificial intelligence-related subjects, and fully respect and protect all parties. legitimate rights and interests of the group, and promptly respond to relevant domestic and international ethical concerns.
——Adhere to the principles of extensive participation, consensus through consultation, and step-by-step progress, closely track the technological development situation, carry out risk assessment and policy communication, and share best operating practices. On this basis, through dialogue and cooperation, and on the basis of fully respecting the differences in policies and practices of various countries, we will promote the active participation of multiple stakeholders and form a broad consensus in the field of international artificial intelligence governance.
——Actively develop the development and application of relevant technologies for artificial intelligence governance, support the use of artificial intelligence technology to prevent artificial intelligence risks, and improve the technical capabilities of artificial intelligence governance.
——Enhance the representation and voice of developing countries in the global governance of artificial intelligence, ensure equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal rules in the development and governance of artificial intelligence in all countries, carry out international cooperation and assistance for developing countries, and continuously bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence. Chasms and gaps in governance capabilities. Actively support discussions on the establishment of an international artificial intelligence governance body under the framework of the United Nations to coordinate major issues in international artificial intelligence development, security and governance.
At the same time, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also answered reporters’ questions on the Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative.
