Beijing has reiterated its call for coordinated international action on artificial intelligence, warning that framing the technology through “threat narratives” risks undermining global governance structures.
The statement comes in response to recent remarks by Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei, who urged AI companies to decelerate model development to address pressing safety and national security concerns.
By advocating for cooperation over restriction, China signaled its position that fear-driven rhetoric could disrupt collective efforts to manage the rapid advancement of AI technologies.
Threat narratives are everywhere these days. It is refreshing to see an official push for calm and collaboration instead.
Deceleration is a bold ask. I worry that slowing down just gives other players an unfair head start in the race.
Cooperation sounds good, but who defines the safety standards? The West seems to be moving faster than China would like.
