Beijing News Express (Reporter Zhang Lu) On September 25, the National New Generation Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional Committee issued the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Ethical Code", proposing that when providing artificial intelligence products and services, vulnerable groups and special groups should be fully respected and helped, and corresponding alternatives should be provided as needed. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that humans have sufficient independent decision-making rights and ensure that artificial intelligence is always under human control.

Providing artificial intelligence products should respect vulnerable groups and provide corresponding alternatives

The "Ethical Code" puts forward six basic ethical requirements: enhancing human welfare, promoting fairness and justice, protecting privacy and security, ensuring controllability and credibility, strengthening responsibility, and improving ethical quality. Various artificial intelligence activities should enhance human welfare, prioritize public interests, and promote harmony and friendship between humans and machines. At the same time, we should promote fairness and justice, adhere to universal benefit and inclusiveness, and promote social equity, justice and equal opportunities. When providing artificial intelligence products and services, vulnerable groups and special groups should be fully respected and helped, and corresponding alternatives should be provided as needed.

All types of artificial intelligence activities should protect privacy and security, fully respect the rights to know and consent to personal information, ensure personal privacy and data security, and must not harm individuals' legitimate data rights and interests. They must not illegally collect and use personal information by stealing, tampering, leaking, etc., and must not infringe on personal privacy rights. It is necessary to ensure that humans have full independent decision-making rights, the right to choose whether to accept services provided by artificial intelligence, the right to withdraw from interaction with artificial intelligence at any time, the right to suspend the operation of artificial intelligence systems at any time, and ensure that artificial intelligence is always under human control.

Enhance security transparency and avoid data and algorithm bias

The "Ethical Code" clearly stipulates that humans must be the ultimate responsible subject, self-examine and self-discipline in all aspects of the entire life cycle of artificial intelligence, establish an artificial intelligence accountability mechanism, and do not evade responsibility review or evade responsibility. Actively learn and popularize artificial intelligence ethical knowledge, objectively understand ethical issues, and neither underestimate nor exaggerate ethical risks.

In terms of research and development, safety and transparency must be enhanced. Enhance the resilience, adaptability, and anti-interference capabilities of artificial intelligence systems, and gradually achieve verifiability, auditability, supervision, traceability, predictability, and trustworthiness. Avoid prejudice and discrimination. In data collection and algorithm development, ethical review should be strengthened, differentiated appeals should be fully considered, and possible data and algorithm biases should be avoided.

In terms of supply, users should be clearly informed of the use of artificial intelligence technology in products and services to protect their rights to know and consent. Provide simple and easy-to-understand solutions for users to choose to use or exit artificial intelligence mode, and must not set up obstacles for users to use artificial intelligence equally.
