Abstract

Open-source artificial intelligence (AI) systems from China are gaining momentum worldwide. In parallel to these technical advances, China’s AI regulation is also taking shape. But as this AI regulatory landscape is constantly evolving, already complicated, and awaiting more certainty, clarification, harmonization, and simplification are becoming more important than ever. An AI law that consolidates and improves existing laws, policies, and cases has the potential to be a solution. Although no official draft of such a law has been released in China yet, AI law experts in China have drafted two influential proposals, Model AI Law (v 3.0, with an article-by-article interpretation) and AI Law (Scholar’s Proposal), that have become important references for understanding and researching China’s AI regulation (1). We outline the current landscape, discuss both proposals, identify points for improvements of China’s AI regulation, and conclude with an outlook on the regulatory future and global implications.

中国对人工智能开放未来的新监管

来自中国的开源人工智能（AI）系统正在全球范围内获得动力。在这些技术进步的同时，中国的人工智能监管也正在形成。但随着人工智能监管格局的不断发展，已经变得复杂，等待更多的确定性，澄清、协调和简化变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。整合和改进现有法律、政策和案例的人工智能法律有可能成为解决方案。虽然中国还没有发布这样的法律的官方草案，但中国的人工智能法律专家已经起草了两个有影响力的提案，即人工智能模型法（v 3.0，逐条解释）和人工智能法（学者提案），这已经成为理解和研究中国人工智能监管的重要参考(1)。我们概述了当前的形势，讨论了这两项建议，确定了中国人工智能监管的改进点，并对监管的未来和全球影响进行了展望。

期刊介绍： Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research. Science serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has been reached as well as including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in Science—including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated. Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals. Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.
