Intelligent development towards goodness and responsible artificial intelligence

In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly, bringing great convenience and new experiences to people's lives, work, and learning. At the same time, issues such as AI fraud, privacy violations, and ethical misconduct also occur from time to time, and people's concerns about the misuse of artificial intelligence technology are intensifying.

2024 World Internet Conference "Internet Light" Expo

At the just concluded Wuzhen Summit of the 2024 World Internet Conference, AI became one of the hottest topics. The summit sub forum has specially set up an artificial intelligence section for this purpose, where expert representatives from around the world engage in comprehensive discussions on topics such as artificial intelligence technology innovation and governance, responsible development and application of artificial intelligence. The summit also established an Artificial Intelligence Professional Committee in order to build a normalized and specialized international exchange platform. The China Internet Development Report 2024 released at this year's Wuzhen Summit shows that at present, China's artificial intelligence and manufacturing industry are deeply integrated, nearly 10000 digital workshops and intelligent factories have been built nationwide, and the digital transformation of traditional industries has been comprehensively accelerated.

In the existing knowledge landscape of humanity, artificial intelligence represents the forefront of information technology development, greatly enhancing humanity's ability to understand and transform the world. We must recognize that innovation and security are the two wings of the healthy development of artificial intelligence. As a brand new field, the competition in the field of artificial intelligence is unprecedentedly fierce, and the improper use of artificial intelligence technology by people will inevitably bring a series of unpredictable risks and challenges. In reality, cases of illegal individuals using artificial intelligence technology to deceive the truth, steal privacy, and illegally profit have been exposed from time to time. At the same time, artificial intelligence technology is also driving the transformation of human society from an information society to an intelligent society, further liberating social productivity.

We need to promote the "upward" and "good" development of artificial intelligence, and develop responsible artificial intelligence. We need to take practical measures to effectively regulate its development path and build a solid safety bottom line. At the level of the rule of law, it is necessary to strengthen the top-level design of artificial intelligence research and application, and continuously strengthen legislative norms in response to the new characteristics and trends in the continuous evolution of artificial intelligence technology; The competent authorities and law enforcement departments must strengthen the supervision of the artificial intelligence industry, increase the crackdown on infringement and illegal activities using artificial intelligence technology, and better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of institutional legal persons and individuals in the artificial intelligence environment. We need to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence, form a broad consensus to promote the safe and healthy development of artificial intelligence, and further strengthen strong constraints on the misuse of artificial intelligence technology.

Technology itself has no good or evil, but its development and application must conform to the mainstream value system of humanity, in order to achieve stability and long-term success. Only by developing responsible artificial intelligence, building ethical, safe, reliable, and intellectual property respecting artificial intelligence, can we fully unleash the digital and intelligent dividends and jointly move towards a better 'digital future'.
