China open to working with other countries on AI rules, says Elon Musk
Jul 13, 2023 5:40 AM

Billionaire Elon Musk said on Wednesday he thinks China is interested in a cooperative international framework on artificial intelligence, from conversations he had when he visited a few weeks ago.

Musk made the remarks in a Twitter Space event with two US congressmen, Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Mike Gallagher.

"China is definitely interested in working in a cooperative international framework for AI regulation," Musk said. He added that he had advocated for artificial intelligence regulations and oversight, including in his meetings in China.

Musk's remarks came on the day he launched his long-teased artificial intelligence startup, xAI, after arguing for months about AI's potential for "civilization destruction."

Musk recently travelled to China and met the foreign, commerce and industry ministers as well as Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang. His Tesla electric car company has a factory in Shanghai.

Musk later said the Chinese government would seek to initiate artificial intelligence regulations.

On Thursday, China issued a set of interim measures to manage the booming industry, paving the way for its tech companies to roll out AI services.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said China attached great importance to the development and governance of AI and "advocates adhering to the principle of human-centred intelligence and creating artificial intelligence for good."

"China is willing to enhance communication and exchanges with the international community on AI security governance, promote the establishment of an international mechanism with universal participation, and form a governance framework and standards that share broad consensus," Wang told a regular briefing in response to a question about Musk's comments.

Several governments are considering how to mitigate the dangers of the emerging technology, which has experienced a boom in investment and consumer popularity in recent months after the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Regulators globally have been scrambling to draw up rules governing the use of generative AI, which can create text and images. Its impact has been compared to that of the internet.
