Nanjing professor calls for global cooperation on AI governance
Nanjing University professor Zhu Feng called for countries to cooperate on AI governance at a forum in Macau on Nov.
9.
He said AI’s uncertainty and technical challenges exceed those of earlier industrial revolutions.
China, he said, is now an important participant in global technology innovation and could help shape the AI era.
AI can speed up innovation and improve efficiency, but it may also affect military security, jobs and public debate.
These risks can cross borders, so no country can manage them alone, Zhu said.
He warned that AI is advancing faster than global governance, while countries’ different rules can leave gaps.
Zhu urged multilateral talks and joint efforts to manage AI risks and ensure the technology benefits humanity.

What people are saying
The uncertainties and technological challenges brought by the artificial intelligence revolution far exceed those of the previous three industrial revolutions; this is both a new impetus for mutual learning among civilizations and an urgent call for global collaborative governance.
There is no country that can remain unaffected.
The international community should abandon approaches to governance that go it alone, engage in dialogue and consultation based on multilateralism, build consensus on global governance, and jointly manage the uncertainties in AI development.
