Abstract:
The birth of generative AI represented by ChatGPT marks a major technological leap from “decision-making AI” to “generative AI”, triggering a technological evolution from “space-time revolution” to “knowledge revolution”. It has triggered the technological evolution from the “space-time revolution” to the “knowledge revolution”. While generative AI technology brings many technological dividends, it also raises many real risks, including data security issues, personal privacy infringement, infringement on intellectual property rights, proliferation of misleading and false information, market monopolization, bias and discrimination. In order to encourage the innovative development of generative AI technologies and avoid the risks they pose, China has adopted an “inclusive legal governance” model. In terms of governance principles, inclusive legal governance always adheres to the basic concepts of collaborative governance, enhancing transparency, improving data quality, and giving full play to the effectiveness of the rule of law; in terms of governance subjects, inclusive legal governance advocates the collaborative governance of multiple subjects, and gives full play to the power of government agencies, scientific research institutes, industry associations, civic groups, and other social organizations; in terms of governance process, inclusive legal governance advocates the use of a variety of governance tools. In the governance process, inclusive legal governance advocates the use of multiple governance tools to comprehensively improve the risk governance level of generative AI through technical solutions, ethical standards and legal policies; in governance methodology, it adopts a classification and grading governance strategy; and in governance outcome, inclusive legal governance emphasizes the need to focus on distributional fairness in the digital society, to bridge the digital divide, and to safeguard the basic human rights in the digital space.
