Nowadays, global investment and competition in the field of artificial intelligence are in full swing. So how do other countries do it? What are there worth learning from and referencing. On the 29th, at the "Digital New Ecology" theme forum of the 2023 China New Finance and Economics Annual Conference, Chen Chen, director of Baidu Legal Research Center, stated that global competition for key technology leadership positions is becoming increasingly fierce. There is an open line of competition in terms of economic strength and technology, as well as a dark line of competition in terms of law, policy, and soft power. Chen Chen cited a report from a US think tank, stating that based on the evaluation of the current competition situation in specific technology fields in China, the United States, and Europe, as well as the leading trends of these technologies in 2025, China's leading fields include 5G, advanced batteries, commercial drones, etc., while the US's leading fields include synthetic biology, biopharmaceuticals, quantum computing, etc. The leading field in Europe is "policy regulations". Chen Chen, Director of Baidu Legal Research Center. Li Jun, a journalist from China News Network, said, "The European Union has a certain gap from China and the United States in some key technology competition areas, but instead, in terms of policy legislation, Europe has always been at the forefront, with very refined legislation and strict laws." Chen Chen Chen said that for the development of emerging industries, efficiency and safety are issues that need to be repeatedly weighed, and a legislation that emphasizes safety is really beneficial to emerging industries The development of key technologies? We may find more insights from the attitudes of the United States and Europe towards artificial intelligence legislation. From 2018 to 2021, Europe has taken three steps towards artificial intelligence: the first step is to develop a strategy, the second step is to issue a white paper, and the third step is to legislate. The goal is very clear, and the goal is to ensure that artificial intelligence complies with ethics and law. Subsequently, Europe proposed classification regulation in the white paper, and different rules will apply to high-risk, low-risk, and completely prohibited AI, which is worth learning from The United States has also emphasized through some administrative orders the need to regulate artificial intelligence in an innovative way while protecting citizens' privacy and freedom. However, the United States also emphasizes how to reduce obstacles to the development and innovation of artificial intelligence technology. The United States is more regulated through 'soft laws' and will not use' hard laws' to forcibly intervene in industrial development, "Chen Chen said. Overall, the difference in artificial intelligence regulation between the United States and the European Union can be seen. In terms of regulatory thinking, the United States prefers market decisions, is market-oriented, and pays more attention to efficiency, so the development of technology in the United States is very fast. The European Union has adopted a preventive approach, regulating harm before it occurs, and paying more attention to safety, which has also led to insufficient development of emerging industries, "Chen Chen said. Chen Chen stated that the purpose of regulation is also different, and the United States still uses soft rules to promote development and protect its leading position. The EU is considering stricter ethical and legal constraints, with great emphasis on human rights, fairness, and being discriminated against. These have strong reference significance for China's legislative policies. (New News Agency)
