The National People’s Congress (NPC) of China has published a press release announcing that its representatives have proposed a motion on the formulation of a “comprehensive and systematic artificial intelligence law to promote the construction of a strong country in the new era and Chinese-style modernization”. The proposal suggests that AI legislation should focus on multiple aspects: (1) promoting innovation through increased funding, favorable financial policies, talent development, and clear industry plans; (2) classifying and regulating risks by categorising AI into prohibited, high-risk, transparency-risk, and low-risk systems, with tailored measures for each; (3) addressing social impact and ethics by mandating impact assessments, establishing ethical norms, and defining moral boundaries; (4) navigating international competition and cooperation with strategic plans and measures for global collaboration; and (5) clarifying legal responsibilities including defining illegal acts, assigning liability, establishing compensation, and outlining regulatory mechanisms.
