I. Deeply Understand the New Situation Facing AI Development

一、深刻认识人工智能发展面临的新形势

Currently, AI has entered a development stage where technological breakthroughs and widespread application are intertwined. It not only demonstrates enormous potential for enabling economic and social transformation but also brings multiple challenges such as ethical misconduct, data abuse, algorithmic bias, and unclear responsibility. AI is gradually moving from laboratories to various fields of the economy and society, and the issues of governance lag and risk spillover are becoming increasingly prominent.

当前,人工智能进入技术加速突破与广泛应用交织的发展阶段,既展现出赋能经济社会转型的巨大潜力,也带来伦理失范、数据滥用、算法偏见、责任不清等多重挑战。人工智能逐渐从实验室走向经济社会各领域,治理滞后与风险外溢问题日益凸显。

The AI industry is developing rapidly. In recent years, large language models, multimodal models, intelligent agents, and embodied intelligence have achieved rapid breakthroughs, maintaining high-speed growth in terms of industrial scale, investment and financing, and the number of enterprises. The latest data released by the International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that the total global investment in AI internet technology in 2024 was $315.8 billion, and it is expected to increase to $815.9 billion by 2028; China’s AI expenditure accounts for over 50% of the total in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2028. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core attaches great importance to AI development, and in recent years has improved top-level design and strengthened work deployment, promoting a holistic and systematic leap in China’s comprehensive AI strength. According to the State Council’s “New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan,” by 2030, the scale of China’s core AI industry will exceed 1 trillion yuan, driving the scale of related industries to exceed 10 trillion yuan.

人工智能行业快速发展。近年来,语言大模型、多模态模型、智能体和具身智能不断实现快速突破,在产业规模、投融资、企业数量等方面保持高速增长。国际数据公司(IDC)最新公布的数据显示,2024年全球人工智能(AI)互联网技术总投资规模为3,158亿美元,并有望在2028年增至8,159亿美元;中国人工智能支出占亚太地区总支出超过50%,预计到2028年总投资规模将突破1000亿美元。以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视人工智能发展,近年来完善顶层设计、加强工作部署,推动我国人工智能综合实力整体性、系统性跃升。根据国务院《新一代人工智能发展规划》,到2030年,我国人工智能核心产业规模超过1万亿元,带动相关产业规模超过10万亿元。

AI is accelerating economic and social transformation

人工智能加速经济社会变革。习近平总书记指出,“人工智能作为引领新一轮科技革命和产业变革的战略性技术,深刻改变人类生产生活方式”。不同于其他颠覆性技术,人工智能的发展并不局限于某一特定产业,而是能够支撑所有产业变革的通用型技术。当前,人工智能技术普遍应用于医疗、教育、交通、农业、工业、金融、文化、生态等领域,为经济社会发展带来深刻变革。以Deepseek为代表的中国人工智能大模型快速崛起及其广泛应用,不断提升城市治理、公务服务、能源管理、环保监测的治理效率和决策科学性,为国家治理带来数字化、智能化的变革机遇,助力国家治理体系和治理能力现代化。

The development of artificial intelligence brings new risks and new challenges. Artificial intelligence technology is accelerating its iteration and is ushering in explosive development. It brings unprecedented development opportunities in empowering economic development, enhancing the effectiveness of social governance, and facilitating people's lives, while also bringing unprecedented risks and challenges. Currently, in the algorithmic design, data training, and decision-making execution stages of artificial intelligence systems, problems such as opaque algorithms, model discrimination, privacy leakage, and ambiguous attribution of responsibility are becoming increasingly prominent. Endogenous technical risks and systemic derivative risks are intertwined and superimposed, becoming the main obstacles restricting their healthy and sustainable development. For example, artificial intelligence algorithms, in the absence of supervision, may perpetuate or even amplify existing social biases; the misuse of personal information in the process of data use can easily trigger a crisis of user trust; when errors occur in the system's automated decision-making, the attribution of responsibility is difficult to determine, exacerbating public concerns about the safety of artificial intelligence technology. More seriously, as a highly specialized, rapidly iterating cutting-edge technology, the development of artificial intelligence has broken through the framework of traditional technology governance, causing existing legal norms, ethical principles, and governance mechanisms to frequently lag behind in practice, making it difficult to form effective institutional constraints and regulatory systems. This situation of "technology advancing ahead, governance lagging behind" further increases the difficulty of artificial intelligence safety governance.

人工智能发展带来新风险新挑战。人工智能技术加速迭代,正迎来爆发式发展,在赋能经济发展、提升社会治理效能、便利人们生活等方面带来前所未有发展机遇,也带来前所未遇风险挑战。当前,人工智能系统在算法设计、数据训练、决策执行等环节中的算法不透明、模型歧视、隐私泄露、责任认定模糊等问题日益凸显,技术内生风险和系统衍生风险交织叠加,成为制约其健康可持续发展的主要障碍。例如,人工智能算法在缺乏监督的情况下,可能延续甚至放大已有的社会偏见;数据使用过程中的个人信息滥用,也极易引发用户信任危机;当系统自动决策发生错误时,责任归属难以界定,加剧了社会公众对人工智能技术安全性的担忧。更为严峻的是,人工智能作为一种高度专业化、技术迭代速度极快的前沿科技,其发展突破了传统技术治理的框架,导致现有法律规范、伦理原则与治理机制在实践中频频滞后,难以形成有效的制度约束和监管体系。这种“技术超前、治理滞后”的局面,使得人工智能安全治理的难度进一步加大。

II. Building an Artificial Intelligence Governance System with Chinese Characteristics Is an Inevitable Requirement for Seizing the Initiative in Artificial Intelligence Governance

二、构建中国特色人工智能治理体系是掌握人工智能治理主动权的必然要求

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Facing the new situation of the rapid evolution of the new generation of artificial intelligence technology, we must give full play to the advantages of the new nationwide system for mobilizing resources nationwide, adhere to self-reliance and self-strengthening, highlight the application orientation, and promote the healthy and orderly development of our country's artificial intelligence in a beneficial, safe, and fair direction." [1]1 Xi Jinping, speech at the 9th collective study session of the Politburo of the 19th CPC Central Committee on October 31, 2018. Combining the frontier trends, benefits and risks, and governance difficulties of artificial intelligence development, the key to artificial intelligence governance with Chinese characteristics lies in adopting a systematic and institutionalized framework of policy formulation, legal supervision, and ethical guidance, adhering to the principles of people-centeredness and intelligent technology for good, promoting the continuous innovative development of artificial intelligence technology, effectively avoiding the risks and challenges brought by technology, and achieving a dynamic balance between maximizing the dividends of artificial intelligence technology and minimizing risks. Building an artificial intelligence governance system with Chinese characteristics is an important measure to adapt to the new trends in artificial intelligence development and strengthen the strategic layout of science and technology governance. It is also a key choice for the transformation from local exploration to systematic governance. It is of great significance for promoting the formation of new quality productive forces, driving high-quality development, enhancing the modernization level of the national governance system and governance capacity, safeguarding technological security and digital sovereignty, and promoting the transformation of the global science and technology governance system.

习近平总书记指出,“面对新一代人工智能技术快速演进的新形势,要充分发挥新型举国体制优势,坚持自立自强,突出应用导向,推动我国人工智能朝着有益、安全、公平方向健康有序发展”。结合人工智能发展的前沿趋势、收益风险以及治理难点来看,中国特色人工智能治理的关键在于通过政策制定、法律监管、伦理指导等系统化、制度化的框架,秉持以人为本、智能向善的原则,促进人工智能技术的不断创新发展,有效规避技术带来的风险挑战,实现人工智能技术红利最大化和风险最小化的动态平衡。构建中国特色人工智能治理体系,是适应人工智能发展新趋势、强化科技治理战略布局的重要举措,也是从局部探索向系统治理转变的关键选择,对推动新质生产力形成、驱动高质量发展,提升国家治理体系和治理能力现代化水平,维护科技安全和数字主权,促进全球科技治理体系变革,具有重要意义。

Building an artificial intelligence governance system with Chinese characteristics is an effective means to reduce technical risks and ensure safety and reliability. The "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese-Style Modernization" adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed: "Strengthen the construction of the network security system and establish an artificial intelligence safety supervision system." [2]2 Xi Jinping, speech at the 9th collective study session of the Politburo of the 19th CPC Central Committee on October 31, 2018. As artificial intelligence achieves breakthroughs beyond people's expectations in various fields of economic and social development, the systemic risks of artificial intelligence also show a trend of diversification and complication, and there even exist risks of technology getting out of control and backfiring on humanity. Therefore, it is necessary to attach great importance to managing technical risks and improving the safety and reliability of artificial intelligence systems. Only by firmly grasping the development trends and laws of artificial intelligence, building an artificial intelligence governance system with Chinese characteristics, and accelerating the promotion of comprehensive legislation and institutional construction at the national level regarding artificial intelligence, can we coordinate the relationship between technological development and institutional response, fundamentally clarify the goals and paths of technological development, and strengthen institutionalized governance, systematic supervision, and full-chain regulation. At the same time, by improving the relevant governance system, it helps to synergize efforts at the levels of laws and regulations, ethical constraints, industry self-discipline, and public supervision, enhance the country's governance capacity and initiative in the field of artificial intelligence technology, and guide the healthy development of artificial intelligence technology on a standardized and orderly track.

构建中国特色人工智能治理体系是减少技术风险、确保安全可靠的有效手段。党的二十届三中全会通过的《中共中央关于进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的决定》提出:“加强网络安全体制建设,建立人工智能安全监管制度。”随着人工智能在经济社会发展各个领域取得超出人们预期的突破,人工智能的系统性风险也呈现多样化、复杂化趋势,甚至存在技术失控、反噬人类的风险。因此,必须高度重视管理技术风险,提高人工智能系统的安全性和可靠性。只有牢牢把握人工智能发展趋势和规律,构建中国特色人工智能治理体系,加快推进国家层面关于人工智能的综合性立法和制度建设,才能协调好技术发展与制度回应之间的关系,从根本上厘清技术发展的目标与路径,加强制度化治理、系统性监管和全链条规范。同时,通过完善相关治理体系,有助于在法律法规、伦理约束、行业自律与公众监督等层面协同发力,提升国家在人工智能技术领域的治理能力和主动权,引导人工智能技术在规范有序的轨道上健康发展。

Currently, the widespread application of artificial intelligence is continuously improving the quality of life and sense of happiness of the people, allowing the fruits of development to benefit all people more and more fairly. By constructing an artificial intelligence governance system with Chinese characteristics, we can further strengthen the principle of “intelligence for good,” and at the policy level highlight the people-centered development orientation, promptly grasp what the people need and respond to what the people seek, guide artificial intelligence technology to invest more in shortcomings in people’s livelihoods, and better serve the people’s needs for a better life. At the same time, only by establishing and improving artificial intelligence ethical standards and norms, strengthening the construction of scientific and technological ethics and humanistic care, and promoting the formation of a dual-wheel-driven model of “value guidance + technological supervision” can we effectively reduce and prevent ethical risks.

构建中国特色人工智能治理体系是引导智能向善、增进民生福祉的关键举措。习近平总书记指出,“要加强人工智能同保障和改善民生的结合,从保障和改善民生、为人民创造美好生活的需要出发,推动人工智能在人们日常工作、学习、生活中的深度运用,创造更加智能的工作方式和生活方式”。当前,人工智能的广泛应用,正不断提升人民群众的生活品质和幸福感,让发展成果更多更公平惠及全体人民。通过构建中国特色人工智能治理体系,可以进一步强化“智能向善”的宗旨,并在政策层面突出“以人民为中心”的发展导向,及时掌握民之所需、回应民之所求,引导人工智能技术更多投向民生短板,更好服务于人民对美好生活的需要。同时,只有建立健全人工智能伦理准则和规范,加强科技伦理建设和人文关怀,推动形成“价值引领+技术监管”双轮驱动模式,才能有效减少和防范伦理隐患。

Constructing an artificial intelligence governance system with Chinese characteristics is an important guarantee for implementing the requirements of high-quality development and enhancing international competitiveness. High-quality development not only emphasizes the speed of economic growth but also pays more attention to the quality, structure, and efficiency of growth. Today, when artificial intelligence has become a key engine of new quality productive forces, constructing an artificial intelligence governance system with Chinese characteristics can, on the one hand, create a more stable, transparent, and fair technological development environment, enhance enterprise innovation motivation and investment confidence, thereby accelerating the construction of new infrastructure such as intelligent manufacturing, smart cities, and digital government. On the other hand, it helps promote the deep integration of the internet, big data, artificial intelligence, and the real economy, cultivate and strengthen intelligent industries, so that artificial intelligence provides a continuous source of new momentum for high-quality development. At the same time, as a general-purpose technology, artificial intelligence is an important lever for enhancing national competitiveness and maintaining national security. Currently, major countries in the world are intensifying the introduction of relevant plans and policies in the field of artificial intelligence, striving to gain the leading role in the new round of international technological competition and global development changes. By constructing an artificial intelligence governance system with Chinese characteristics, through strengthening standard setting, industrial guidance, and participation in international rule-making, we can effectively enhance China’s voice and influence in global artificial intelligence governance.

构建中国特色人工智能治理体系是落实高质量发展要求,提升国际竞争力的重要保障。高质量发展不仅强调经济增长的速度,更关注增长的质量、结构与效益。在人工智能成为新质生产力关键引擎的今天,构建中国特色人工智能治理体系,一方面能够营造更加稳定、透明、公平的技术发展环境,增强企业创新动力和投资信心,从而加快智能制造、智慧城市、数字政府等新型基础设施建设。另一方面,有助于推动互联网、大数据、人工智能和实体经济深度融合,培育壮大智能产业,使人工智能为高质量发展提供源源不断的新动能。同时,作为一项通用技术,人工智能是提升国家竞争力、维护国家安全的重要抓手。当前,世界主要国家加紧出台人工智能领域相关规划和政策,力图在新一轮国际科技竞争与全球发展变局中掌握主导权。构建中国特色人工智能治理体系,通过强化标准制定、产业引导和国际规则参与,可以有效提升我国在人工智能全球治理的话语权和影响力。
