běi jīng北京tí chū提出：AIyào要jiā rù加入shè huì zhǔ yì社会主义hé xīn核心jià zhí guān价值观
Zhao Weidong, Deputy Minister of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, recently published an article in the "Study Times," stating that China should "take the lead" in the development of artificial intelligence, especially by training AI large models with socialist core values.
Zhao Weidong said that now the internet spreads information very quickly and there is a huge amount of information; some content pursues "traffic" which can affect the social atmosphere.
Therefore, China needs to establish its own "mainstream corpus" and use healthier, more reliable local content to train AI, so that AI can reflect values that Chinese society considers important when answering questions and generating content.
He also said that algorithms themselves have no value judgment; if only traffic or clicks are pursued, AI might recommend unhealthy content.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide "value guidance" to algorithms, incorporating socialist core values from the initial design and training stages.
The article also discusses cultural aspects.
Zhao Weidong believes that foreign culture spreads quickly, and some young people are influenced, preferring foreign culture and undervaluing local culture.
He stated that China should launch more attractive local cultural products and use new technologies to build a "firewall" to reduce harmful information and protect cultural security.
The article concludes by pointing out that culture and technology are becoming increasingly integrated.
Artificial intelligence is not only a technological issue but also a cultural one.
China hopes to use its own corpus, algorithms, and technology to make AI better serve its own society.
