AI is going beyond pure science and technology to become an important agenda of the international community and an important area where China leads and participates in improving global governance</ p> <p>Artificial intelligence is worldwide, deeply embedded in the global Internet, and is a large-scale phenomenon covering an extremely wide range. The Joint Statement on Artificial Intelligence and Global Governance issued by China and France recently pointed out that "the opportunities, risks and challenges of artificial intelligence are essentially global". AI is becoming a global agenda, especially the prediction and discussion of AI risks are being carried out around the world</ p> <p>First, philosophical dilemma. People are worried about whether AI, which has formed the ability of independent thinking, will generate intelligence and rationality higher than that of human beings by virtue of its powerful computing power and massive data, which has triggered philosophical puzzles about human identity cognition: "Why do people exist?" "Are carbon based organisms the guiding procedures for silicon based organisms?" and so on</ p> <adv-loader __attr__inner="7004636" __attr__style="width: auto; position: relative;float: left;border: 1px solid #ebebeb; padding: 20px;overflow: hidden;margin: 10px 30px 40px 0; "></adv-loader> <p>The second is the ethical dilemma. At present, mainstream artificial intelligence algorithms cannot be fully monitored, and the consequences of machine learning often go beyond the original intention of developers. These "technology black boxes" will infringe upon public rights and interests, amplify the inherent prejudice and discrimination of human society, and form complex social hidden dangers when it is difficult to detect. Who is in charge, how and who is responsible is an issue that cannot be ignored in the development of AI</ p> <p>The third is the military security dilemma. The extensive application of artificial intelligence in intelligence analysis, decision-making control and weapon systems may make mankind lose control of war and bring about a new round of arms race. The combination of artificial intelligence and network weapons will produce unpredictable, unknown, imperceptible and uncontrollable destructive lethality. Some scholars say that mankind is facing an "Oppenheimer moment" similar to that when nuclear weapons were introduced</ p> <p>In addition, the popularization of AI may also bring challenges such as structural unemployment, increasing polarization between the rich and the poor, and the intelligent gap. In terms of energy, the big model also has the problems of electricity consumption, water consumption and high carbon emissions. People love and hate AI. AI not only helps human beings to improve productivity and management level, but also may have a significant negative impact on social ethics, wealth differentiation, national security, and even the fate of the entire human race</ p> <p>Based on the concern that AI models pose a threat to human survival, countries around the world are deepening their understanding of the urgency of AI governance, and relevant measures are accelerating. In November 2023, the first Global AI Security Summit was opened at the Brecelli Manor in the UK. The Brecelli Declaration jointly reached by participating countries, including China, agreed to establish AI regulatory methods through international cooperation. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization issued the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, the United Nations Security Council held an open meeting on the theme of "opportunities and risks brought by artificial intelligence to international peace and security", and more than 40 United Nations agencies, including the International Telecommunication Union, launched the "AI for Good" project...</p><p>Artificial intelligence is a common topic for all mankind, and development achievements should be shared globally, The risks and challenges brought about need to be tackled globally. As a major AI country, under the guidance of the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China actively promotes AI global governance and makes China's contribution to ensuring that AI benefits mankind</ p> <p>As early as at the opening ceremony of the G20 Business Summit in 2016, President Xi Jinping pointed out that "innovation is the key to fundamentally unlock growth. A new round of technological and industrial revolution with the Internet as the core is poised. New technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality are changing with each passing day. The combination of virtual economy and real economy will bring revolutionary changes to people's production and lifestyle. This kind of change will not be achieved overnight, nor will it be smooth. It needs the joint efforts of all countries to fully amplify and accelerate its positive effects while minimizing the possible negative effects. " This important discourse based on dialectical thinking critically considered the impact of AI on the future of mankind, and proposed strategic and macro response ideas</ p> <p>The first is China's plan. In 2023, China will put forward the Global AI Governance Initiative, which will systematically elaborate the Chinese plan for AI governance around the three aspects of AI development, security and governance, including people-oriented and smart for good; Mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit; Continuously improve the safety, reliability, controllability and fairness of AI technology; Form a global AI governance framework and standard specifications with broad consensus, and support the discussion on the establishment of an international AI governance institution under the framework of the United Nations; Strengthening international cooperation and assistance for developing countries, bridging the smart gap and governance gap, etc., reflect China's mature governance experience in this field, and provide a blueprint for relevant international discussions and rule making</ p> <p>The second is China's action. In addition to holding the first meeting of the China US Intergovernmental Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence, China will hold the World Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the high-level conference on global governance of artificial intelligence this year, and will also participate in the artificial intelligence summit and its preparations to be held in France in 2025. In addition, China plans to put forward a draft resolution on strengthening international cooperation in AI capacity building at the United Nations General Assembly, which aims to further improve AI global governance under the United Nations framework and help developing countries share the fruits of AI development fairly. This shows the historical sense of urgency that time waits for no one and seize the moment, and the strong action force that promises and acts with determination</ p> <p>There is no doubt that in the face of unpredictable new risks and challenges brought about by the wave of artificial intelligence, the fate of all mankind is linked, sharing weal and woe, and "helping the world together". Only by implementing the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, adhering to genuine multilateralism, adhering to the role of the United Nations as the main channel, and jointly building an open, fair and effective governance mechanism, can countries in the world ensure that AI brings benefits rather than disasters, and jointly create a happier and better future for mankind.
