On July 9, at the Science and Technology Innovation Plenary Conference of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the paper "New Generation of Chinese Artificial Intelligence" (hereinafter referred to as "AI in China") written by the Chinese team was officially released.

This paper is the first time that Chinese scientists have published a panoramic review of China's AI development in top international academic journals. The release of the paper is a reflection of the importance and influence of the development achievements of China's artificial intelligence industry in the world, and also demonstrates Shanghai's strength as a global artificial intelligence highland.

In addition to mentioning the application of AI in various industries and talent training, the paper introduces the issue of artificial intelligence ethics in detail.

The paper writes that according to China's new generation of artificial intelligence development plan, to achieve the long-term goal of artificial intelligence benefiting human society, we must not only increase the research and development and application of artificial intelligence, maximize the potential of artificial intelligence, but also pay more attention to artificial intelligence. Many ethical, legal and economic issues brought about by intelligent development.

In June 2019, the National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Governance Committee issued the "Principles for Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance for the Development of New Generation Artificial Intelligence". In April 2019, the European Commission's high-level expert group on artificial intelligence proposed the ethical code of trustworthy artificial intelligence. Beijing Artificial Intelligence Research Institute also published the "Beijing Artificial Intelligence Principles" in May 2019. The G20 supports the principle of responsibly managing trustworthy AI.

Speaking of the differences in artificial intelligence ethics at home and abroad, the paper said that the difference in artificial intelligence ethics between China and Europe may be due to the emphasis on convenience and credibility, while Europe focuses on people-centeredness and privacy. Since the development of artificial intelligence can be used for harm, China's artificial intelligence ethics is required to help build trusted artificial intelligence systems to facilitate daily life, which should be carried out completely according to the plan to ensure the safety and reliability of the artificial intelligence system. sex. Since the development of AI relies on data to train underlying systems, European AI ethics have strong data protection, which limits the extent to which companies operating there can use people’s personal data.

When we mention the ethics of artificial intelligence, people generally believe that artificial intelligence algorithms are safe, reliable, responsible, interpretable and fair. The paper authors say they now realize that they need to incorporate the above ethics into their research and understand the biases and prospects of the social harm of algorithmic injustice. For example, research can leverage joint learning and blockchain to alleviate the problem of data privacy, while debiased algorithms can ensure fairness to some extent. By carefully coordinating the activities of several different machine learning models, private gatherings of teacher collections are used to achieve private learning.

So far, China's artificial intelligence ethical principles lack legal enforcement and policy implications. In order to formulate ethical norms and policies related to the development of artificial intelligence in China, the Chinese government is determined to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence technology on society. According to the "Work Guidelines on Establishing a National Experimental Zone for Innovation and Development of New Generation Artificial Intelligence" released by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, China will carry out long-term and interdisciplinary social experiments and explore appropriate methods and means to support artificial intelligence governance.

At the end of the paper, the authors made an outlook, hoping to cultivate an artificial intelligence ecosystem in the future. The paper says that artificial intelligence has the potential to enhance other technologies, similar to enabling technologies such as internal combustion engines and electricity. Many people believe that artificial intelligence is universal, has many applications in different fields and brings seismic changes in these fields. When we talk about AI applications, there are many different components that support certain applications such as software, hardware, platform and marketing.

The AI ​​ecosystem can be a network of systems connected by a variety of organic components, including startups, businesses, investors, research institutions and markets, which together create innovative products and Competitive service. In a healthy AI ecosystem, every player across multiple industries and fields can find ways to thrive.
