Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 26 — According to the South China Morning Post, during the Boao Asia Forum annual meeting, several Chinese government advisors called for the government to establish clear “red lines” for the development and application of artificial intelligence. Jiang Xiaojun, director of the National Data Expert Advisory Committee and former deputy secretary-general of the State Council, stated that for AI applications aimed solely at reducing labor costs without improving service quality or promoting environmental sustainability, a cautious approach must be maintained. AI deployment should not be entirely left to market forces; when technology causes extreme harm to people, the government must intervene. Xue Lan, dean of Tsinghua University’s Schwarzman College and director of the Deep Tide Artificial Intelligence International Governance Research Institute, also suggested at the forum that clear boundaries should be set for AI applications.
