The Chinese government has issued a new set of economic development guidelines that emphasize the need for establishing artificial intelligence safeguards while promoting the use of AI across various industries, according to state news agency Xinhua. The guidelines, which were adopted by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee and the State Council, aim to accelerate the development of new quality productive forces.
They outline 19 key measures across five areas, including advancing scientific and technological innovation and deepening the integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation. The guidelines also mandate the full implementation of China’s “AI Plus” initiative, which seeks to transform industries through the widespread adoption of AI technology.
Furthermore, the guidelines stress the importance of establishing systems for technology monitoring, early risk warning, and emergency response to ensure the safety, reliability, and controllability of AI systems. These measures come in response to President Xi Jinping’s recent call for AI to remain "always under human control," urging the development of laws and regulations, technological monitoring, early warning, and emergency response systems.
The guidelines also reflect the increasing focus on AI safety and regulation, as evidenced by top US tech leaders signing a self-regulation agreement during a meeting with Trump.
