my country's development has entered a period of coexistence of strategic opportunities and risks and challenges, and uncertainties and unpredictable factors increase. This is the latest scientific conclusion made by the Communist Party of China based on the Marxist world outlook and methodology with a focus on changes in the world, changes in the times, and changes in history. In the field of science and technology, the leap development of emerging disruptive technologies is having superposition and resonance effects with the evolution of the international pattern, bringing more and more uncertainties to global security and prosperity.

On the one hand, disruptive technologies represented by artificial intelligence have emerged in digital economy, intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, talent training, etc., pressing the "accelerator" for global development and prosperity. On the other hand, the real application of artificial intelligence technology is amplifying problems such as data security risks, deepening digital divide, invasion of personal privacy, terrorism, and other issues, bringing a series of new risks, new challenges and new impacts to global non-traditional security. At the same time, the egoistic trend of "national priority" has emerged, which has encouraged power political logic and protectionist behaviors such as "decoupling and breaking chains" and "building walls and building foundations", and has increased the difficulty for countries to reach a consensus on global governance.

At present, the global security governance system for artificial intelligence is far from mature, and there is still a long way to go to formulate a binding international governance agreement. This especially requires major countries in the field of artificial intelligence to set an example, adhere to multilateralism, and strengthen coordination and cooperation. But things went against our expectations. The "National Security Strategy Report" recently released by the United States poured cold water on the global multilateral governance process. Although this programmatic strategy seems to want to find a balance between promoting competition among major powers and responding to global challenges, it says it is necessary to cooperate in solving challenges such as climate change, food crisis, energy transition, and nuclear non-proliferation, competition and confrontation are the core tone of the report. The contradictory and self-deception policies adopted by the United States are obviously inconsistent with the trend of the times when countries work together to meet global challenges.

In the context of increasingly fierce competition among major powers, how should the international community effectively respond to the potential security challenges caused by artificial intelligence? Advocating "ethics first" and promoting the construction of ethical norms of artificial intelligence on the basis of universal participation of all countries may be a feasible path. In June 2019, the "Artificial Intelligence Principles" reached by the G20 pointed out that countries should establish trustworthy artificial intelligence and focus on social, legal and ethical issues arising from artificial intelligence. In November 2021, UNESCO member states officially reached the first "Opinions on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence", marking an important step forward in the international community to build consensus on the ethical norms of artificial intelligence.

As a responsible major country, China has always been committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind in the field of artificial intelligence and ensuring that artificial intelligence is safe, reliable and controllable. China continues to launch the "China Initiative", injecting indispensable leadership into the global security governance of artificial intelligence. In November 2020, Chinese leaders emphasized at the 15th G20 Leaders' Summit that China supports strengthening dialogue on artificial intelligence and proposes to hold special meetings in a timely manner to promote the implementation of the G20 AI principles and lead the healthy development of global artificial intelligence. This demonstrates China's confidence and determination to promote the global governance process of artificial intelligence. In December 2021, China issued the "State Document on Regulating the Military Application of Artificial Intelligence", calling on all countries to not seek absolute military advantages and prevent damage to global strategic balance and stability. It emphasized that all countries should uphold the principle of "intelligent for good" and abide by national or regional ethical norms. Recently, China has submitted a "Position Document on Strengthening the Governance of Artificial Intelligence" to the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention on Specific Conventional Weapons, which once again aroused widespread attention from all parties.

Artificial intelligence technology represents the future of mankind. China is not only a drafter and participant in the ethical norms of artificial intelligence, but also an explorer and practitioner. All countries should attach importance to each other's reasonable concerns about artificial intelligence security and development, find the "greatest common divisor" for establishing artificial intelligence ethical norms, continuously establish mutual trust and accumulate consensus, and strive to reach a balanced, effective and sustainable global governance architecture for artificial intelligence as soon as possible.
