China Includes AI Law in This Year’s Legislative Work Plan

China has included a draft Artificial Intelligence Law in this year’s Legislative Work Plan, showcasing its intent to implement national-level regulations for the AI industry. The General Office of the State Council released the plan, which will be reviewed by the Standing Committee of the National People‘s Congress. Though a timeline for the review has not been set, the move establishes China‘s commitment to generate comprehensive laws for the growing AI industry. The law may help in regulating the usage, development, and production of AI technologies in China. The draft AI law is expected to impact various sectors, including enterprise, healthcare, transportation, and security systems. It is also likely to promote scientific innovation, research, and global cooperation in the field of AI. The new AI law could give China a strategic advantage over other countries that haven’t yet established such regulations for the industry.
