China Premier Says Humans Must Control Machines in AI Development

(Davos, Switzerland) — Human beings must control the machines instead of having the machines control humans, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said at the World Economic Forum in Davos Tuesday, calling for a human-oriented principle in artificial intelligence development.

“AI must be guided in a direction that is conducive to the progress of humanity,” he added. There must be a red line that is not crossed in the development of artificial intelligence to ensure the technology benefits society.
