Beijing Hosts Academic Seminar on Artificial Intelligence Governance Research

Recently, the academic symposium on "The Continuity and Transformation of Artificial Intelligence Governance Research" and the related annual conference were held at Communication University of China. Scholars from fields such as journalism and communication studies, public administration, international relations, and political science engaged in discussions on the theory, policy practice, global governance, and ethical issues of artificial intelligence governance. At the opening ceremony of the conference, participants noted that the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence has pushed artificial intelligence governance research into a new stage. Several experts pointed out that artificial intelligence governance involves not only technical management, but also science and technology ethics, communication security, platform governance, and policy coordination at the national level. The symposium featured three thematic sessions that discussed topics including new paradigms of artificial intelligence governance, the global policy landscape, the role of the state, majorpower competition, as well as regulation of emerging fields, privacy risks, and China's experience. The organizers said they hope to further promote research on artificial intelligence governance and the development of an independent knowledge system through interdisciplinary dialogue.
