[What are the main considerations for the artificial intelligence technologies to be added to China’s Catalog of Export Prohibited and Restricted Technologies? Ministry of Commerce's response] On October 16, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions on the revision of the "China's Catalog of Export Prohibited and Restricted Technologies". Q: What are the main considerations for the artificial intelligence technology to be added? Answer: Currently, global artificial intelligence technology innovation has entered an unprecedented active period, with opportunities and challenges coexisting. This time, it is planned to add 23 key technologies related to artificial intelligence large models, agents, computing power clusters, and information processing to the "Catalogue" for the following main considerations: The first is to ensure that artificial intelligence technology is safe and controllable. Various endogenous and derived risks caused by artificial intelligence have attracted great attention from countries around the world. The artificial intelligence-driven autonomous malicious code generation and mutation technologies planned to be listed this time can be used to attack sensitive systems such as national critical information infrastructure, national defense industry, and core government affairs, or to bypass the national security defense system. If obtained by non-state actors or malicious entities, it may cause harm to national security and the common security of mankind. The Chinese government implements necessary management of this type of technology in order to establish a solid bottom line for safety, prevent abuse and abuse, ensure that artificial intelligence is always under human control, and promote international governance of artificial intelligence. The second is to encourage open source, cooperation and sharing. The Chinese government is committed to making artificial intelligence an important source of power for promoting common prosperity and maintaining common security. In order to support the construction of an artificial intelligence open source innovation ecosystem, automatic licensing and other convenient measures will be applied to technology exports in situations such as open source artificial intelligence technology, Chinese enterprises building self-operated computing centers overseas, going overseas to carry out chip tape-out manufacturing, using overseas resources to carry out joint research and development, and participating in the formulation of international standards, basically realizing "immediate export"; related technologies that have entered the public domain through open source, publishing academic papers, etc., are not planned to be included in the scope of export management, creating a good environment for international exchanges and cooperation in artificial intelligence technology. It should be particularly pointed out that China advocates engaging in dialogue and cooperation on artificial intelligence with other countries on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit to jointly deal with the risks of proliferation and loss of control of artificial intelligence technology. China supports countries in the Global South to strengthen artificial intelligence capacity building, bridge the digital intelligence gap, and promote sustainable development. More convenience and support will be provided for the technology exports required for international cooperation in capacity building, technology sharing and rule building among members of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization.
