Improving governance to promote artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity
2026-07-30
Currently, global artificial intelligence technology innovation has entered an unprecedented period of activity, which contains enormous opportunities but also faces governance challenges. How to improve the governance of artificial intelligence and promote its development in a beneficial, safe, and fair direction is a common issue faced by countries around the world. This important discourse provides conceptual guidance and practical guidance for strengthening the governance of artificial intelligence, and points out the direction for promoting the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence, contributing Chinese wisdom.
Artificial intelligence is not an ordinary tool, it has already changed the relationship between humans and technology, technology and rules, innovation and governance. Therefore, to improve the governance of artificial intelligence, the answer is how to correctly view the new relationship between humans and artificial intelligence in the new context, how to optimize institutional arrangements to prevent technological risks, safeguard safety bottom lines, and develop, utilize, and govern artificial intelligence well. How to use user information, whether consumer choices are authentic, who is responsible for any problems, and whether platform competition is fair... Only by addressing these issues well can artificial intelligence better serve economic and social development and benefit human society. In this process, adhering to the principle of putting people first and striving for goodness is the value premise that artificial intelligence governance must establish.
Adhere to the principle of putting people first and emphasize that the development of artificial intelligence must serve the comprehensive development of human beings, and cannot be at the cost of weakening human subjectivity. To ensure that artificial intelligence is always under human control and cannot passively adapt to technological rules. Evaluating the value of artificial intelligence should not only focus on model size, computing power level, generation ability, and business efficiency, but also on whether it can enhance human well-being and maintain human dignity. The deeper artificial intelligence is involved in the operation of the economy and society, the more it needs to serve human needs, enhance human capabilities, and expand human choice space as its fundamental purpose, to avoid people being simply labeled in algorithm recommendations, marginalized in automated decision-making, and losing their ability to make autonomous judgments in technological operation.
Adhere to the principle of upward and good, emphasize the need to adhere to the correct value direction and maintain a good and stable social order in promoting the innovation and development of artificial intelligence. Upward, reflected in the improvement of innovation capabilities and deepening of industrial transformation, empowering thousands of industries with artificial intelligence; To be good is reflected in maintaining a fair competition order, enhancing social public interests, promoting universal sharing of technology, and making artificial intelligence an important driving force for promoting common prosperity and maintaining common security. The more universal and permeable artificial intelligence technology is, the more it must ensure that its development direction meets the requirements of fairness, integrity, openness, sharing, and security controllability. In short, moving upwards and towards goodness not only requires pursuing efficiency improvement, but also paying attention to whether technological achievements can benefit society more widely, which is also an inherent requirement for the healthy development of the intelligent economy.
It should also be noted that there is a viewpoint that governance will slow down innovation. This view only sees the constraint function of governance, which is not complete or comprehensive, and does not see the guarantee and empowerment role of governance. Governance and innovation are never mutually exclusive. The governance of artificial intelligence cannot be simply understood as "setting rules for artificial intelligence", nor can it be limited to abstract principles that emphasize strengthening supervision in a general way. Artificial intelligence technology iterates quickly and has new application scenarios. If the rules are too rigid, it may indeed affect its healthy development. But the true role of governance is to provide a basic order for technological innovation through the combination of principles and rules, allowing business entities to know where the boundaries, responsibilities, and expectations lie. Clear boundaries enhance transaction trust; Only with clear responsibilities can companies be more willing to invest in the long term. Correct governance will not slow down innovation, but rather make it go more steadily and further.
The key to improving artificial intelligence governance lies in responding to the practical problems brought about by the development of artificial intelligence. With the continuous expansion of technological boundaries through the intelligent connection of all things and human-machine collaboration, artificial intelligence is accelerating from the "digital world" to the "physical world", from "simple assistance" to "participation in decision-making", and deeply integrating into social life and economic operation. However, it should be noted that while algorithms are increasingly reshaping the way people obtain information, express their will, and make choices, they also pose new risks to people's subject status and related rights and interests; The intervention of algorithms in the transaction process gradually changes the mechanism of enterprise pricing, traffic allocation, and market trust formation, and also poses new challenges to fair trade and market competition. In addition, the complex technological chain also makes it difficult to effectively implement risk responsibility. All of this indicates that the faster the development of artificial intelligence technology is advancing, the more it needs to be anchored in the direction of upward and beneficial to humanity, the more precise the scale of regulatory governance needs to be, and the more timely measures to prevent loss of control need to be improved. We need to strengthen the governance of artificial intelligence and establish a normalized and long-term governance mechanism to ensure that artificial intelligence always develops in the direction of safety, reliability, controllability, and benefiting humanity, so that this thousand mile horse can run both fast and steadily.
Firstly, place the protection of human rights in a more fundamental position. On the one hand, artificial intelligence's ability to process and generate personal information, as well as personality elements such as voice and portrait, is constantly increasing, which may weaken individuals' control over their own identity and violate their personal dignity. In this regard, we should adhere to the principles of minimum necessity, limited purpose, and informed consent, and build a strong defense line for protecting personality rights and interests in the digital age. On the other hand, artificial intelligence gradually participates in decision-making processes such as information screening, behavior prediction, and result judgment, which may affect the formation of individual self-awareness and autonomous decision-making. In this regard, it is necessary to clarify the level of participation and impact of artificial intelligence, ensure that users have necessary opportunities for information, selection, manual review, and relief, and enable individuals to always retain the right to independently decide on relevant matters.
Secondly, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and operators. For consumers, the intervention of artificial intelligence in their information acquisition scope and transaction selection process may weaken their ability to make autonomous judgments based on sufficient information. In this regard, necessary information disclosure, regulatory constraints, and accountability mechanisms should be established to safeguard consumers' right to know and independent decision-making. For operators, algorithms may affect the market competition order by influencing the conditions for operators to obtain trading opportunities and participate in competition through traffic allocation, sorting rules, and resource allocation. In this regard, it is necessary to improve the system of algorithm filing, transparency management, security evaluation, etc., and enhance the transparency, fairness, and non discrimination of artificial intelligence systems.
Thirdly, establish a full chain responsibility system. The infringement of rights caused by artificial intelligence is often not directly caused by a single behavior, but involves multiple links such as data sources, model development, technology deployment, platform operation, and specific use. Therefore, it is necessary to allocate responsibilities reasonably based on the functional positioning, risk control capabilities, and actual benefits of different entities in the operation of artificial intelligence. Developers should bear corresponding responsibilities for data source compliance, model design defects, and security risks; The deployer should take corresponding responsibility for the risk control during the selection and use of application scenarios; Platform operators shall bear corresponding responsibilities for algorithm operation management, user protection, and risk disposal; Users who misuse artificial intelligence and cause damage should also bear corresponding responsibilities in accordance with the law.
