At present, artificial intelligence is leading the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation deeper forward. The field of artificial intelligence has become the main battlefield of global scientific and technological competition and a new arena for strategic rivalry among major powers. The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence. General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued a series of important instructions, stressing the need to “comprehensively advance artificial intelligence technological innovation, industrial development and application empowerment, improve artificial intelligence regulatory systems and mechanisms, and firmly grasp the initiative in artificial intelligence development and governance.” We must thoroughly study and understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions, unswervingly implement the holistic approach to national security, accelerate the construction of a system for preventing and controlling artificial intelligence security risks, and use high-level security and highly effective governance to promote the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence in our country.
当前，人工智能引领新一轮科技革命和产业变革纵深推进，人工智能领域已成为全球科技竞争的主战场、大国战略博弈的新赛道。党中央高度重视人工智能发展，习近平总书记作出系列重要指示，强调要“全面推进人工智能科技创新、产业发展和赋能应用，完善人工智能监管体制机制，牢牢掌握人工智能发展和治理主动权”。我们要深入学习领会习近平总书记重要指示精神，坚定不移贯彻总体国家安全观，加快构建人工智能安全风险防治体系，以高水平安全、高效能治理推动我国人工智能健康有序发展。
牢牢把握完善人工智能治理的根本遵循
Since the 18th Party Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping, from the strategic height of “promoting leapfrog development in our country’s science and technology, optimizing and upgrading industry, and achieving an overall leap in productivity” and “winning the initiative in global scientific and technological competition,” has made a series of important statements on improving artificial intelligence governance. We must study and understand them completely, accurately and comprehensively, with particular focus on the following eight aspects.
党的十八大以来，习近平总书记从“推动我国科技跨越发展、产业优化升级、生产力整体跃升”“赢得全球科技竞争主动权”的战略高度，对完善人工智能治理作出一系列重要论述。我们要完整、准确、全面学习领会，重点把握以下八个方面。
First, the strategic positioning of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a strategic technology leading this round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, with a powerful spillover-driven “leading goose” effect. Whoever can seize the development opportunities of artificial intelligence and other parts of the new economy will have grasped the pulse of the times. It must be treated as a strategic industry and integrated into the overall national development agenda.
一是人工智能的战略定位。人工智能是引领这一轮科技革命和产业变革的战略性技术，具有溢出带动性很强的“头雁”效应，谁能把握人工智能等新经济发展机遇，谁就把准了时代脉搏，必须将其作为战略性产业，融入国家发展全局。
Second, the development policy for artificial intelligence. We must give full play to the advantages of the new whole-of-nation system, adhere to self-reliance and self-strengthening, and emphasize an application-oriented approach. We must take innovation as the primary driving force and security as the bottom-line requirement, improve top-level design, strengthen work arrangements, and promote an overall and systemic leap in our country’s comprehensive artificial intelligence capabilities.
二是人工智能的发展方针。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。要把创新作为第一动力、把安全作为底线要求，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。
Third, the value orientation of artificial intelligence. We must keep the well-being of all humanity in mind, promote the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence in a beneficial, safe and fair direction, make satisfying the people’s aspirations for a better life the ultimate objective of scientific and technological innovation, closely integrate artificial intelligence with safeguarding and improving people’s livelihoods, and address pain points and difficult problems in areas such as education, health care, elder care and transportation.
