2023年10月18日，網(wǎng)信辦發(fā)布《全球人工智能治理倡議》，圍繞人工智能發(fā)展、安全、治理三方面系統(tǒng)闡述了人工智能治理中國方案。

《全球人工智能治理倡議》既是在人工智能技術(shù)快速發(fā)展，機(jī)遇與風(fēng)險快速涌現(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵時期貢獻(xiàn)的中國智慧，同樣也是在人工智能治理的規(guī)則建構(gòu)被西方國家壟斷的背景下代表廣大發(fā)展中國家發(fā)出的呼吁，將會對全球人工智能發(fā)展與治理、的愿景落實起到積極的作用。

人工智能是人類發(fā)展新領(lǐng)域。當(dāng)前，全球人工智能技術(shù)快速發(fā)展，對經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展和人類文明進(jìn)步產(chǎn)生深遠(yuǎn)影響，給世界帶來巨大機(jī)遇。與此同時，人工智能技術(shù)也帶來難以預(yù)知的各種風(fēng)險和復(fù)雜挑戰(zhàn)。人工智能治理攸關(guān)全人類命運，是世界各國面臨的共同課題。

在世界和平與發(fā)展面臨多元挑戰(zhàn)的背景下，各國應(yīng)秉持共同、綜合、合作、可持續(xù)的安全觀，堅持發(fā)展和安全并重的原則，通過對話與合作凝聚，構(gòu)建開放、公正、有效的治理機(jī)制，促進(jìn)人工智能技術(shù)造福于人類，推動構(gòu)建。

我們重申，各國應(yīng)在人工智能治理中加強信息交流和技術(shù)合作，共同做好風(fēng)險防范，形成具有廣泛的人工智能治理框架和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)規(guī)范，不斷提升人工智能技術(shù)的安全性、可靠性、可控性、公平性。我們歡迎各國、國際組織、企業(yè)、科研院校、民間機(jī)構(gòu)和公民個人等各主體秉持共商共建共享的理念，協(xié)力共同促進(jìn)人工智能治理。

為此，我們倡議：

Global AI Governance Initiative

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new area of human development. Currently, the fast development of AI around the globe has exerted profound influence on socioeconomic development and the progress of human civilization, and brought huge opportunities to the world. However, AI technologies also bring about unpredictable risks and complicated challenges. The governance of AI, a common task faced by all countries in the world, bears on the future of humanity.

As global peace and development faces various challenges, all countries should commit to a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security, and put equal emphasis on development and security. Countries should build consensus through dialogue and cooperation, and develop open, fair, and efficient governing mechanisms, in a bid to promote AI technologies to benefit humanity and contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

We call on all countries to enhance information exchange and technological cooperation on the governance of AI. We should work together to prevent risks, and develop AI governance frameworks, norms and standards based on broad consensus, so as to make AI technologies more secure, reliable, controllable, and equitable. We welcome governments, international organizations, companies, research institutes, civil organizations, and individuals to jointly promote the governance of AI under the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits.

To make this happen, we would like to suggest the following:

We should uphold a people-centered approach in developing AI, with the goal of increasing the wellbeing of humanity and on the premise of ensuring social security and respecting the rights and interests of humanity, so that AI always develops in a way that is beneficial to human civilization. We should actively support the role of AI in promoting sustainable development and tackling global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity conservation.

We should respect other countries’ national sovereignty and strictly abide by their laws when providing them with AI products and services. We oppose using AI technologies for the purposes of manipulating public opinion, spreading disinformation, intervening in other countries’ internal affairs, social systems and social order, as well as jeopardizing the sovereignty of other states.

We must adhere to the principle of developing AI for good, respect the relevant international laws, and align AI development with humanity’s common values of peace, development, equity, justice, democracy, and freedom. We should work together to prevent and fight against the misuse and malicious use of AI technologies by terrorists, extreme forces, and transnational organized criminal groups. All countries, especially major countries, should adopt a prudent and responsible attitude to the research, development, and application of AI technologies in the military field.

We should uphold the principles of mutual respect, equality, and mutual benefit in AI development. All countries, regardless of their size, strength, or social system, should have equal rights to develop and use AI. We call for global collaboration to foster the sound development of AI, share AI knowledge, and make AI technologies available to the public under open-source terms. We oppose drawing ideological lines or forming exclusive groups to obstruct other countries from developing AI. We also oppose creating barriers and disrupting the global AI supply chain through technological monopolies and unilateral coercive measures.

We should promote the establishment of a testing and assessment system based on AI risk levels, implement agile governance, and carry out tiered and category-based management for rapid and effective response. R&D entities should improve the explainability and predictability of AI, increase data authenticity and accuracy, ensure that AI always remains under human control, and build trustworthy AI technologies that can be reviewed, monitored, and traced.

We should gradually establish and improve relevant laws, regulations and rules, and ensure personal privacy and data security in the R&D and application of AI. We oppose theft, tampering, leaking, and other illegal collection and use of personal information.

We should adhere to the principles of fairness and non-discrimination, and avoid biases and discrimination based on ethnicities, beliefs, nationalities, genders, etc., during the process of data collection, algorithm design, technology development, and product development and application.

We should put ethics first. We should establish and improve ethical principles, norms, and accountability mechanisms for AI, formulate AI ethical guidelines, and build sci-tech ethical review and regulatory system. We should clarify responsibilities and power boundaries for entities related to AI, fully respect and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of various groups, and address domestic and international ethical concerns in a timely manner.

We should uphold the principles of wide participation and consensus-based decision-making, adopt a gradual approach, pay close attention to technological advancements, conduct risk assessments and policy communication, and share best practices. On this basis, we should encourage active involvement from multiple stakeholders to achieve broad consensus in the field of international AI governance, based on exchange and cooperation and with full respect for differences in policies and practices among countries.

We should actively develop and apply technologies for AI governance, encourage the use of AI technologies to prevent AI risks, and enhance our technological capacity for AI governance.

We should increase the representation and voice of developing countries in global AI governance, and ensure equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal rules for all countries in AI development and governance. Efforts should be made to conduct international cooperation with and provide assistance to developing countries, to bridge the gap in AI and its governance capacity. We support discussions within the United Nations framework to establish an international institution to govern AI, and to coordinate efforts to address major issues concerning international AI development, security, and governance.
