China makes its bid for global AI governance
“The first principle about promoting AI development focuses on a call for global collaboration,” he noted. “We have to look at this in the context of recent efforts by the US to cut China off from accessing AI capabilities by limiting the trade of technology. China is trying to push back and encourage more exchange, perhaps hoping to avoid being hindered by a lack of access to US-produced semiconductors and AI-related research advancements.
“Yet later, in principle #3, developing the AI governance system, there is mention of North-South and South-South cooperation – but not East-West cooperation. This could be read as China saying that the developing world needs to be included. Or it might be read as saying, “We don’t need the US.”
Nevertheless, the declaration concluded, “We are fully aware that the implementation of this declaration requires our joint efforts. We look forward to positive responses from governments, sci-tech communities, industrial communities and other stakeholders around the world. Together, let us promote the healthy development of AI, ensure AI safety, and empower the common future of mankind with AI.”
