The initiative proposes that enhancing human well-being should be the fundamental principle of artificial intelligence academic research; safety should be the baseline requirement for AI research and governance;
respect for the equal participation rights of all countries in AI research and governance; oppose technological hegemony, academic barriers, exclusionary “small circles,” and unreasonable technological monopolies;
and guide the public to correctly understand the stages of technological development and potential risks. (Xinhua News Agency)
