The draft proposes to form more than 50 national and
industry-wide standards for AI by 2026. It also said China aimed
to participate in forming more than 20 international standards
for AI by that time.
This comes at a time when China is trying to catch up with the
United States in AI development after U.S. company OpenAI
shocked the world with its seminal chatbot ChatGPT at the end of
2022. Last year, Beijing was active in devising regulations for
AI including a licensing regime for ChatGPT-like products in the
country.
The draft guidelines aim at "seizing the early opportunities
from the development of the AI industry", the ministry said.
The ministry also said that 60% of these prospective standards
should be aimed towards serving "general key technologies and
application development projects".
Furthermore, it targets to have more than 1,000 companies to
adopt and advocate for these new standards.
