China wants the future of AI to be decided by all countries, not just a few

China defended today that the future of artificial intelligence be “decided by all countries” and that its rules are not “dictated by developed countries.”

During a meeting with the media, the director of the Cybersecurity Coordination Office of the Cyberspace Administration of China, Gao Lin, indicated that artificial intelligence is a “new area of ​​human development” to which China “attaches great importance.” .

The representative of the Chinese regulatory department reviewed the proposals presented by the Asian country for the development of said technology, among which are “respect for the sovereignty of other countries”, “non-interference in internal affairs” and “ensuring that artificial intelligence remains under human control”.

Gao stressed the importance of “increasing the voice of developing countries in the advancement of artificial intelligence.”

For his part, the deputy director of the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Bochao, pointed out that the management of AI is “a challenge for all countries.”

“China has the largest consumer and industrial application market for AI in the world,” said Liu, adding that he hopes that “China and the United States can cooperate in this area,” after said technology was one of the topics discussed by Chinese President Xi Jinping and his American counterpart, Joe Biden, during their meeting this month in San Francisco.

Liu expressed support for “collaboration between research institutes of China and the United States” and assured that he welcomes “American companies jointly building AI research institutes with their Chinese counterparts to accelerate technological innovation.”

Last July, the Asian giant approved provisional regulations to regulate generative artificial intelligence services similar to ChatGPTwhich will be subject to “current regulations regarding information security, protection of personal data, intellectual property and scientific and technological progress.”

In addition, they must respect “fundamental socialist values”, “social morality and professional ethics” and will be prohibited from “generating content that threatens national security, territorial unity, social stability or the legitimate rights and interests of other people.” .

Likewise, these services must guarantee “transparency and reliability”, identifying as such the content generated by said technology.

“By drawing red lines, we ensure that artificial intelligence tools can be used by users in a safe way,” Gao explained today.

Several Chinese technology giants such as Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba have presented services based on artificial intelligence in recent months, although questions have arisen about the application of this type of technology in the Asian country due to the strong censorship imposed by the authorities.
