China calls for global AI governance
Beijing has called for stronger global governance of artificial intelligence, stating that all nations should collaborate to develop the technology for humanity's benefit while preventing it from spiraling out of control, according to PTI. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun responded to concerns raised by AI experts about the dangers posed by rapidly advancing systems, emphasizing the importance of developing AI for positive purposes and strengthening safeguards to prevent misuse.
AI was described as a collective wisdom and precious asset shared by all humanity, requiring international cooperation for development and governance. China supports the United Nations leading global AI governance efforts and stands ready to cooperate with countries worldwide to establish a just and equitable system for AI development and use.
The warnings come in the wake of stark remarks from leading AI researchers and industry figures, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Anthropic researchers Jacob Coxon and Evan Hubinger, who have expressed grave concerns about the risks associated with advanced AI systems.
