China Prepares a Global Proposal to Regulate Artificial Intelligence

China's government is preparing a new proposal aimed at establishing international standards for the development and use of artificial intelligence.

President Xi Jinping will present the initiative at a tech forum held in Shanghai.

A race to control AI's rules

The United States, China, and the European Union hold differing positions on how advanced artificial intelligence models should be regulated.

China is seeking greater influence over international decisions related to security, privacy, innovation, and access to this technology.

The proposal could intensify the debate over who should control artificial intelligence systems and what obligations the companies that develop them should face.
