As an important driving force for the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence has the characteristics of a high degree of integration of technical attributes and social attributes. While promoting the development of productivity, it also brings new risks and challenges. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must adhere to the unity of promoting development and managing in accordance with the law, vigorously cultivate new technologies and applications such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and next-generation communication networks, and actively use laws, regulations and standards to guide the application of new technologies." The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee proposed "improving the development and management mechanism of generative artificial intelligence" and "establishing an artificial intelligence security supervision system." Adhering to the balance of development and governance, innovation and security, and comprehensively improving the level of artificial intelligence security governance is not only an urgent need to ensure the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence, but also an important part of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.

Adhere to the value orientation of people-oriented and intelligent for good. The fundamental purpose of developing artificial intelligence is to benefit mankind, enhance people's well-being, and promote the all-round development of people. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Adhere to people-oriented and intelligent for good, and strengthen the governance of artificial intelligence rules within the framework of the United Nations." Adhering to people-oriented and intelligent for good means that the people can share the dividends of artificial intelligence development, continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security, prevent the abuse of artificial intelligence technology from causing harm to society, and guide artificial intelligence to be good. To improve the level of artificial intelligence security governance, on the one hand, it is necessary to guide the development of artificial intelligence to enhance the common welfare of mankind as the goal, to ensure social security and respect for human rights as the premise, to ensure that artificial intelligence always develops in a direction that is conducive to the progress of human civilization; on the other hand, it is necessary to guide the value orientation of artificial intelligence at the legal and ethical levels to ensure that the development of artificial intelligence is safe and controllable.

Establish policies, regulations and systems for AI security governance. We should accelerate the AI ​​legislation process, formulate forward-looking AI laws and regulations, and provide a solid legal basis for AI security governance. We should improve a series of systems such as infrastructure security protection, cross-border data security supervision, and AI security service certification, implement the AI ​​security governance responsibility system, clearly define the rights, obligations and responsibility boundaries of relevant entities, establish accountability and traceability mechanisms, and form an institutional system for AI security governance. We should achieve the organic unity of incentive development and reasonable regulation through good laws and good governance, ensure that AI is safe, reliable, and controllable, and develop in a direction that is conducive to maintaining national security, promoting economic and social development, and enhancing people's well-being.

Improve scientific supervision methods that are compatible with the development of artificial intelligence technology. Artificial intelligence is iterating rapidly and is in a state of constant change. It is necessary to improve scientific supervision methods that are compatible with its development. Adapt to the development trend of artificial intelligence with deep integration of production, academia, research and application, improve the supervision network with vertical organic connection and horizontal organic connection, and embed security governance into the whole process of research, development and application. Strengthen the research and prevention of potential risks, establish and dynamically adjust the classification standards of artificial intelligence according to factors such as technological development, industry field, and application scenarios, and conduct compliance assessments on security risks that may arise from large models. Strengthen the research on basic theories of security protection and cutting-edge security technology, promote innovation in artificial intelligence security technology, develop advanced encryption technology, authentication technology and general large model security and controllable technology, encourage interdisciplinary research, promote the integration of artificial intelligence with network security, information security and other fields, prevent data leakage, malicious attacks and other security vulnerabilities, and improve the level of artificial intelligence security governance with high-efficiency scientific supervision.

Form a security governance pattern of artificial intelligence with co-construction, co-governance and sharing. To promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to coordinate, build and govern multiple parties. Strengthen government leadership, establish a coordinated mechanism for artificial intelligence supervision, and give play to its overall coordination role in strategic planning, risk management, rule-making, and social service systems. Guide industry organizations, enterprises, educational and scientific research institutions, network platforms and relevant professional institutions to strengthen prudent self-discipline, support them in collaborating in the prevention of artificial intelligence security risks, and build an artificial intelligence security governance framework and work system with multi-department coordination, multi-disciplinary integration, and multi-subject participation. At the same time, build online and offline platforms for the public to participate in security governance, establish an artificial intelligence security governance system in which everyone is responsible, everyone fulfills their responsibilities, and everyone enjoys, and form a powerful synergy for artificial intelligence security governance.
