China Prepares to Police AI as ChatGPT Frenzy Spreads

(Bloomberg) — China will introduce rules to govern the use of artificial intelligence across a swath of industries, moving to regulate emerging spheres as ChatGPT fever sweeps the world’s No. 2 economy.

The government will push for the safe and controllable application of artificial intelligence (AI) services, which it considers a strategic industry, officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology told reporters Friday. Authorities will continue to monitor its evolution over the longer term to gain a better understanding of the ethical concerns surrounding AI and other transformative technologies, Science Minister Wang Zhigang said.
