Deep dives
The Focus on Chinese AI Governance and Regulation
The study delves into specific Chinese measures that target AI or algorithms for regulation at the national level, excluding laws focusing on AI development or local government regulations. It includes significant AI governance documents like the new generation AI development plan, ethical norms for new generation AI, and provisions for algorithmic recommendations in internet services.
Key Regulations: Algorithmic Recommendations in Internet Services
The 2021 regulation on recommendation algorithms marked the beginning of targeted restrictions in China, originating from CCP concerns regarding algorithms' role in online information dissemination. The regulation introduced measures for content control, worker protections, and user rights, setting up an algorithm registry to disclose and assess algorithms' properties.
Bridging AI Regulations and Future Legislation
China's vertical and iterative regulatory approach focuses on specific technology applications, building regulatory tools like the algorithm registry for future measures. The structural similarities across the regulations emphasize algorithms as a core point of entry, regulatory tool development, and the iterative nature of evolving regulations towards a comprehensive AI law.
This report from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace summarizes Chinese AI policy as of mid-2023. It also provides analysis of the factors motivating Chinese AI Governance. We're providing a more structured analysis to Chinese AI policy relative to other governments because we expect learners will be less familiar with the Chinese policy process.
