In this talk, I will synthesize and analyze Global AI Principles, providing a perspective on how they are complement with each other, instead of competing with each other, and discuss how the principles from industries, NPO&NGO, and governments are similar and different from each other. In the global context, I will discuss several Chinese AI Principles, on how they are formed, related, and how they can go into subdomains and be technically grounded into reality. By making discussions on the difference of data-based AI and mechanisms-based AI, I will talk about potential risks for different paths of Artificial General Intelligence, and will discuss principles for AGI and Superintelligence.

On December 9, 2019, Professor Yi Zeng of the Chinese Academy of Science gave a seminar. The title of the lecture was “Chinese AI Principles: Policy, Technical Explorations, and the Future.” In his talk, he synthesized and analyzed Global AI Principles, providing a perspective on how they are complementing each other, instead of competing, and discuss how the principles from industries, NPO&NGO, and governments are similar and different from each other.
In the global context, he discussed several Chinese AI Principles, including Beijing AI principles released on May 2019, and how they are formed, related, and how they can go into subdomains and be technically grounded into reality. Also, by making discussions on the difference of data-based AI and mechanisms-based AI, he talked about potential risks for different paths of Artificial General Intelligence and will discuss principles for AGI and Superintelligence.
In the Q&A session, several questions are raised by the audience. The questions are such as, what are the characteristics of Chinese AI Principles compared with other principles, what was the response from industries and academics to the principles, and how to consider the feasibility of AGI and how to communicate the difference between existing technology and future technologies such as AGI to the general public?
China has made remarkable progress in the research and development of AI technology, and it also has shown a presence in terms of AI governance. It will become important for Japan to reconsider its contribution to the world regarding AI governance.
